I went ahead and changed the machinekit script file "check-system-configuration.sh" line 24 to machinekit.log instead of linuxcnc.log to work around the logging ok verification issue that shows with at the end of a current make process on my computer.
The /machinekit/src/rtapi/rsyslogd-machinekit.conf file does need to be copied to /etc/rsyslog.d/ if it is not there and then the logging service needs to be restarted with sudo service rsyslog restart.
