Comment (by simonmar):
We want to do the right thing here, but I'm not sure it's as simple as you
say.
If there's a mismatch between `uname -m` and the kind of binaries that gcc
produces, then who's to say which one is "right"? You might have
forgotten to point the build at the correct gcc, or you might have
forgotten to use `linux32`. We could guess that you wanted a 32-bit build
and do that, but we might be wrong. The best we can do is spot the
inconsistency and ask the user to resolve it.
