THIS A HACK, NOT A FIX. Sorry if you got the wrong impression. Add the line below to /etc/make.conf All invocations of make will then set the environment variable.This is effectively the same as what you did with setenv. MACHINE_ARCH=i386 If you can find out what is wrong with make, you should fix that instead.
