The issue here is that we really don't want to override the symbols set by the compiler because a lot of code assumes that they are going to be set by the compiler, and not by other external means. Everytime I remember someone did this, it had to be reverted for one reason or the other.
this is a pretty special case. i don't think anything beyond defining __NetBSD__ and undefining anything else used in our tree is worth it. the way that rump is separated from the host makes this quite a reasonable way of doing it. "rump" -- which is a virtual netbsd kernel -- doesn't talk to userspace itself. it's a real netbsd kernel. it is self contained and doesn't invoke the host. it has "rumpuser" for that, and rumpuser is not compiled with -D__NetBSD__. .mrg.
