Are you on an x86_64 cpu? You can't build x86_64 unless
you're on an
x86_64 cpu running an x86_64 kernel/os. When running that you
can /also/ build i386.
Said CPU can also be a QEMU virtual machine though. :-) I've built several
packages in qemu-system-x86_64 running on a 32-bit host. It's about 50 times
slower than native though! So for a build which takes 10 minutes on the native
i?86 hardware, count about 8 hours in qemu-system-x86_64.
