With respect, that is not correct, at least for stable/7 as of r200721.

Rather, the line in question is in /sys/i386/conf/DEFAULTS:

g1-119(7.2-S)[2] cd /sys/i386/conf/
g1-119(7.2-S)[3] grep '^machine' *
DEFAULTS:machine                i386
g1-119(7.2-S)[4]=20

Indeed; that appears to have gone into DEFAULTS as of r152865:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r152865 | ru | 2005-11-27 15:17:00 -0800 (Sun, 27 Nov 2005) | 3 lines

- Allow duplicate "machine" directives with the same arguments.
- Move existing "machine" directives to DEFAULTS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I note, too, that stable/6, stable/8 and head each built and ran
successfully on this machine this morning -- each using an unmodified
GENERIC kernel, as is the kernel I was unable to build for stable/7.

And I had another occurrence of the "make buildkernel" failure on my
laptop (as a reality check) -- though that was not a GENERIC kerenl.
