May be this should be in the mit/Makefile (for XFree86), because
/usr/include/machine will be rebuild if one rebuilds the NetBSD
source tree (specifically /usr/src/include) and any links will
be lost. Anyway, it doesn't look very nice if any application
(like X11:-) puts a file into a system (OS) directory. :-(
