Weird conditional logic in lib/libpmc/Makefile

Hey all,

Below is some logic pasted from lib/libpmc/Makefile:

.if ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "amd64" || ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "i386"

.if ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "aarch64"
EVENT_ARCH="arm64"
.elif ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "amd64" || ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "i386"
EVENT_ARCH="x86"
.elif ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "powerpc"
EVENT_ARCH="powerpc"
.endif

JEVENTS= ${BTOOLSPATH:U.}/pmu-events/jevents
# This file is built in a subdirectory so never try to rebuild
# it here due to missing meta file.
${JEVENTS}: .NOMETA

libpmc_events.c: ${JEVENTS}
	${JEVENTS} ${EVENT_ARCH} ${.CURDIR}/pmu-events/arch libpmc_events.c
SRCS+= libpmc_events.c
.endif

Why perform the conditionals for aarch64 and powerpc when it can't be
those? "Am I missing something?

I'm looping in Matt Macy, who was the last person to touch the file.

Thanks,
