The easiest way to reproduce:

1. Have FreeBSD installed with the current version of ports

2. cd /usr/ports/math/zimpl

3. In the file files/patch-Makefile, replace ARCHX back with ARCH

4. make

5. Observe how it fails:

gmake[1]: Entering directory '/usr/ports/math/zimpl/work/zimpl-3.3.4'
Makefile:144: make/make.linux.amd64.gnu.opt: No such file or directory


The amd64 part of the file name was supposed to be replaced in ARCH (see 
s/amd64/x86_64/), but sed hasn't been run for some mysterious reason.

Without the step #3 above, the project builds fine.


Why is ARCH different from ARCHX?
