I run an x86_64 kernel with i386 userspace (Ubuntu Dapper) and decided
to try out UML today. I found that UML wasn't quite aware of biarch
compilers (which Ubuntu i386 ships). A fix similar to what was done for
x86_64 should probably be committed (see
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113425940204010&w=2).
Without the FLAGS changes, the build will fail at a number of places and
without the LINK change, the final link will fail.
