Event Timeline

Maybe also add something about {C,CXX,LD}FLAGS_${ARCH} existence.

Also, please add an blank line after the <title> lines.

560–562 ↗(On Diff #54052)

These should maybe be examples of how to use ONLY_FOR_ARCH and NOT_FOR_ARCH instead.

574–575 ↗(On Diff #54052)

Maybe make -C /usr/src targets should probably be pointed to first, before asking people to go read a file.

linimon added a reviewer: mat.

Complete rewrite of patch. Incorporate feedback. Move general information higher. Use better shorthand for 32/64 bit test.

I also wanted to punt the discussion of *FLAGS_<arch> until another patch, so I changed the text of the 64/32 bit examples.

Unless I am mistaken, this is not valid make(1) code. It should probably be :M*64*. Same below.
