I just discovered that the uname(2) syscall does return a different
value, `amd64' instead of `x86_64':

njoly@lanfeust [~/NetBSD]> /usr/pkg/emul/linux/bin/uname -a
Linux lanfeust.sis.pasteur.fr 2.4.18 #0 Wed Feb 20 20:00:02 CET 2002 amd64 amd64 \
amd64 GNU/Linux

njoly@raclette-tete2 [~]> uname -a
Linux raclette-tete2.calcul.pasteur.fr 2.4.21-27.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jan 19 11:28:26 \
CST 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It seems that Linux does not use our machine definition, at least for that
architecture, but machine_arch instead.
