There is one bug when setting the CPUTYPE to native, the FreeBSD build system fails to correctly set the MACHINE_CPU to the correct value. I had discovered this problem back in May 2007: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=112997 Just apply the last patch to share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk and that will fix the problem.
