hm, indeed arch/um/Kconfig.i386 is assymetric to Kconfig.x86_64. Jeff 
Cc:-ed.

trying to see whether changing that would still result in a working UML 
arch i found that current UML doesnt seem to build here:

 arch/um/os-Linux/helper.c: In function 'run_helper':
 arch/um/os-Linux/helper.c:73: error: 'PATH_MAX' undeclared (first use in this function)

it needs the patch below.

then it fails with:

 mm/filemap.c: In function '__generic_file_aio_write_nolock':
 mm/filemap.c:1831: sorry, unimplemented: inlining failed in call to 'generic_write_checks': function body not available

i used:

   make ARCH=um SUBARCH=x86_64 -j64 linux

on x86-64, gcc-4.3.0-0.13. Config is:

   http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/.config.um

i also tried gcc 4.2.3, that built it fine but didnt link it:

/opt/crosstool/gcc-4.2.3-glibc-2.3.6/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.2.3/../../../../x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld:

...
/opt/crosstool/gcc-4.2.3-glibc-2.3.6/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.2.3/../../../../x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld:

perhaps the combination of distcc and crosscompilers doesnt work well on 
UML? (it works fine with other architectures)
