Oy, oy, oy.  No wonder my friends would rather fsck with the amd64 live cd 
(that panics on boot unless the BIOS settings are /really/ special) than 
start off in 32-bit land.

Anyway, I think what you probably need to do is append -m64 to your CFLAGS.

Try:
make ARCH=x86_64 CFLAGS=-m64
I'll go fiddle a bit, too.  I'm already running a 64-bit userland, but I 
have an i686 "cross"-compiler installed, maybe I can iron out think kinks 
in the process for ya.
