### mkmerge.go
This program is used to extract duplicate const, func, and type declarations
from the generated architecture-specific files listed below, and merge these
into a common file for each OS.
The merge is performed in the following steps:
1. Construct the set of common code that is idential in all architecture-specific files.
2. Write this common code to the merged file.
3. Remove the common code from all architecture-specific files.
