This value doesn't change on 32bit or 64bit intel processors. On Linux, the value would be x86_64 for 64bit processors and i686 for 32bit processors. The 6 in 686 might be 3,4, or 5 depending on your processor type.

Hmmm. OS X uses LLVM instead of gcc, doesn't it? I'm not sure I know 
enough about LLVM cross-compile environments in order to know if this is 
the right thing to do or not. Any web references you can point me at, or 
are there any other compiler-savvy OS X users on the mailing list?


ATB,
