I don't see much overengineering here? :) We simply trust BUILD_ARCH,
as it is passed in by the top-level Makefile.inc1. This is how most of
these down-level Makefiles work. Running all kinds of commands to
figure out architectures and the like should be avoided in such
Makefiles.

Unfortunately, this is the wrong option to do so. The gcc manual says:
-dumpmachine
Print the compiler’s target machine (for example, ‘i686-pc-linux-gnu’)
-and don’t do anything else.
E.g, it prints the *target* tripe, not the build triple.

Again, this should be set by the top-level Makefiles, not in this one.

No, this is definitely incorrect, as stated above.
