Hmm, I put just TARGET_ARCH=mipseb into /etc/make.conf and compiled almost all 
world (accidentally broken just before end, but that's a pilot error in this 
case) and sysutils/screen port compiled and run with no CPUTYPE nor CFLAGS 
definition.

That should not be read as better from any side, but surely simpler :) Maybe 
even TARGET_ARCH should be known from running kernel, this would be similar 
how native build works on both i386 and amd64 platforms. Now, with screen in 
place I am going to test buildworld again (with some WITHOUT_XXX=YES in 
/etc/make.conf) to verify native builds... they are slowish here, which is 
expected, but seems to work, which is great.
