Hi,
This is not quite right. We genrallt get architecture from
DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU -- is there a reason why this does not just work for
amd64?
Then, this value of architecture is used in architecture.mk to
select which arch specific make snippet shall be loaded. We do not
use architecture anywhere else.
Now the arch specific snippet then sets KERNEL_ARCH (which
defaults to $(architecture). This value is used all over the place ==
including setting ARCH=$(KERNEL_ARCH) while invoing the top level
kernel Makefile.
If somehow the value for stuff is wrong for amd64, then the
porters should present a correct ruleset/arches/amd64.mk which sets
the variable correctly (instead of changing the default value).
