Not exactly sure about the SRPM, but the standard kernel Makefile uses
"uname -m" to get the architecture for the build. What do you get when you
type "uname -m"? If it's "i686" then that's your answer.
What's in /proc/cpuinfo?
(I believe if you "export ARCH=athlon" prior to the build you'll get what
you desire...)
