      x86: correctly set UTS_MACHINE for "make ARCH=x86" · 8c6531f7
      Andreas Herrmann authored
      
      
      For a kernel built with "make ARCH=x86" the following system
      information is displayed when running the new kernel
      
          $ uname -m
          x86
      
      On some i386 systems (e.g. K7) we even have the following information
      
          $ uname -m
          x66
      
      This is weird. The usual information for "uname -m" should be "x86_64"
      on 64-bit and "i386" or "i686" on 32-bit.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit
      kernel builds and to "x86_64" for 64-bit kernel builds. I.e., "x86"
      won't be used for UTS_MACHINE anymore.
