AFAIK, the Linux count is CPU architectures, whereas the BSD count is complete machine
architectures, NetBSD covers 15 CPU architectures (By my count from NetBSD's own list).

Correct.  The NetBSD count includes things like Amiga and Atari as separate "architectures"
(both use m68k processors), while the Linux count would identify this as a single m68k
"architecture".
