K64 makes no difference - config.guess uses uname -p, which is i386 on
K32 and K64. The fact is that arch/uname aren't the correct tools for
determing the answer to this particular question.

Granted that point, is it possible to build, or provide, a modified version of uname, to be put in the tools or whatever suitable directory, and that would override /usr/bin/uname with more sensible data? Does it make sense?

No, but it's probably possible to get configure to correctly build a triple by using other tools (like it has to do on solaris, for example).

It sounds like that's what Jack has done with his updated configure.guess...

I would tend to agree with Toby, though, that this probably isn't something that needs to be addressed by base/
