Bug#329671: kernel-image-2.6-amd64-k8-smp: Kernel image in the intel x86 port is appears to be compiled in 64bit mode.

Package: kernel-image-2.6-amd64-k8-smp
Version: 103
Severity: important


I've installed Sarge x86 on a opteron system. When changing the
kernel from

kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp
to
kernel-image-2.6-amd64-k8-smp

the machine architecture as reported by uname changes:

When running kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp

uname -m
i686

On kernel-image-2.6-amd64-k8-smp
uname -m
x86_64


Concequently, many applications fail to build correctly
from source (eg the linux kernel, probably anything using
config.guess) as the architecture is incorrectly specified.
