Subject: Does the kernel detect arch features when making config?

Does the kernel detect the specifics of the my computer architecture
when a defconfig is run?

It just seems like when I run defconfig the kernel knows to configure
for a 64 bit system.

What others factor could cause me to make this assumption?

thanks for your patience,

brahan
