1c553a2453 Document 64-bit arm in terms of arch name (aarch64) not machine (arm64).
Other architectures are documented in terms of the name that is displayed by
'uname -p', aka MACHINE_ARCH and TARGET_ARCH in the build system, now
aarch64 matches the rest of them.

17c0cf813c arch.7: Clarify architecture-specific macro use
Compilers may define multiple variants of architecture-specific macros
(for example, both __x86_64 and __x86_64__).  Add a note that the macros
documented in arch.7 are the preferred ones for FreeBSD.

9b573234c7 arch.7: correct statement about time_t size
After r320347 it is 64-bit on every architecture except i386.

3364e8aea9 o Replace __riscv__ with __riscv
o Replace __riscv64 with (__riscv && __riscv_xlen == 64)

This is required to support new GCC 7.1 compiler.
This is compatible with current GCC 6.1 compiler.

RISC-V is extensible ISA and the idea here is to have built-in define
per each extension, so together with __riscv we will have some subset
of these as well (depending on -march string passed to compiler):

__riscv_compressed
__riscv_atomic
__riscv_mul
__riscv_div
__riscv_muldiv
__riscv_fdiv
__riscv_fsqrt
__riscv_float_abi_soft
__riscv_float_abi_single
__riscv_float_abi_double
__riscv_cmodel_medlow
__riscv_cmodel_medany
__riscv_cmodel_pic
__riscv_xlen

11d34fd62a Solve the y2038 problem for powerpc
AKA Make time_t 64 bits on powerpc(32).

PowerPC currently (until now) was one of two architectures with a 32-bit time_t
on 32-bit archs (the other being i386).  This is an ABI breakage, so all ports,
and all local binaries, *must* be recompiled.
