first of all, $objtype is the target to compile for, not the type 
of the local cpu.  You at least need to look at $cputype.

The following would do it with one less process:
	sed -n 's/^O=(.*)/\1/p' /$cputype/mkfile

I am currently writing an rc script that needs to know the
object suffix of the architecture it is running on. Would
the following code reliably return this suffix, or is there
a better way?

grep '^O=.$' /$objtype/mkfile | sed -e 's/O=//'

Thanks,

Nils.
