There's only one set of packages built, and both 32-bit & 64-bit binaries
are installed at the same time, and you can choose at system boot which
kernel to load, so even when 64-bit binaries are available, just running
file on the binary in /bin won't help, because that will be the 32-bit
"isaexec" wrapper which checks to see which kernel is running, and then
exec's either the 32-bit or 64-bit version from a subdirectory.

uname doesn't tell you if it's 32-bit or 64-bit - there's nothing there
that changes between the two.
