Yes, that would explain it.  The "correct" way to have done it, within 
parrot's src/platform hierarchy, would have been to make two new files, 
something like generic/cpu_type.c and win32/cpu_type.c, along with the 
appropriate tweaks to MANIFEST and the root Makefile.  Then no special 
NetBSD tweaks would be needed.

I can take a stab at it, but I have several higher priority perl 5 tasks 
on my plate at the moment, so if anyone else wants to jump in and do it, 
that would be appreciated.
