...which is elsewhere defined in the Makefiles.  This was a decision made
by the graphics SW group; OS uses RISCOS, and I don't think either is
likely to change in the near future. *Sigh*

>(2) I take it that Mips{Bsd/Sysv}Architecture defines the software platform.

Noted.

>Yow.  Why is "#ifdef SYSTYPE_BSD" insufficient?

I think the issue is that code which defines BSD or BSD43 should be
treated as if it were generated in -systype bsd43.  I'm not sure this is
a correct assumption, though.

Also, it's *wrong*.  It should be "#ifdef SYSTYPE_BSD43"... *double-sigh*.
