Hi all,
${ARCH} in the release(8) manpage always bothered me somehow. Probably
it's because I do like copy&paste and I think introducing a variable
here is not useful as everybody willing to build from source should know
what $(uname -m) does:

To build a kernel the steps are:

Change the current working directory.

I do not know about anything besides i386 and amd64 but at least for
those architectures the above is working.
Thanks,
Frank.
