Question changing i386-portbld-freebsd7.0 to x86-portbld-freebsd7.0


Hello,

I noticed BSD 7 has 2 different ways of compiling source which is really confusing. If I download a tarball and compile it the arch identified by configure is:

i386-unkown-freebsd7.0. I can change it to what I want when I can manually manipulate configure to x86-unkown-freebsd7.0.

But... compiling from ports via make install gives me i386-portbld-freebsd7.0. First off, why is configure identifying the arch differently here than when compiling a downloaded tarball? My second question is Is there a way to set the setting for make install to compile my ports x86-portbld-freebsd7.0 instead of i386-portbld-freebsd7.0?

Thanks,

KW
