The kernel autodetects your current hardware.  You can override with ARCH=xxx.

It's in the top level kernel Makefile:

ARCH ?= $(shell uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/i386/ -e s/sun4u/sparc64/ \
				-e s/arm.*/arm/ -e s/sa110/arm/ \
				-e s/s390x/s390/ -e s/parisc64/parisc/ \
				-e s/ppc.*/powerpc/ )

I still want to keep the differences to a minimum, but if we really wind up 
needing to care...
