You caught the problem right away. This is indeed where the bootstrapping
doesn't work. Possibly with some crude makefile hacks one could force
ARCH to be the host-system's when doing the bootstrap, with using any
ARCH passed on the command line for the second build. Unfortunately
my head starts spinning when I look at makefiles for too long...
