I modeled my patch after behavior I saw in the unpatched script.  I had 
also originally set x86_64 to amd64 with the exact results I get with 
your patch.  So, I looked at what the unpatched kernel was doing, which 
is putting i386 in those fields when building for x86_64 on an i386 
machine.  I don't know the results would actually run because I don't 
have an x86_64 myself.  It may not run, but it does build.

cheers!
