When compiling the kernel on amd64, I'm ending up with:

  CC      arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/misc.o
objdump: arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/.tmp_misc.o: File format is ambiguous
objdump: Matching formats: elf32-i386 elf32-i386-freebsd
  OBJCOPY arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin
  GZIP    arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.gz
  LD      arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/piggy.o
  LD      arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/vmlinux
  OBJCOPY arch/x86_64/boot/vmlinux.bin
objcopy: arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/vmlinux: File format is ambiguous
objcopy: Matching formats: elf32-i386 elf32-i386-freebsd 
make[2]: *** [arch/x86_64/boot/vmlinux.bin] Error 1 

This breaks all attempts to use objdump/objcopy on i386 binaries under
amd64, which breaks the kernel compilation quite solidly.

Ken Thompson claims that he started developing UNIX so he could play
Space War, but the end product shows he was really much more interested
in cheating at Scrabble.
