  To: thomas, bruce.richardson, Honnappa.Nagarahalli; +Cc: dev, Juraj Linkeš

The current machine='default' build name is not descriptive. The actual
default build is machine='native'. Add an alternative string which does
the same build and better describes what we're building:
machine='generic'. Leave machine='default' for backwards compatibility.
