This was changed in 2.6.24. i386 and x86_64 where unified to just x86  
with
a Config option whether to build 32 or 64 bit.

However, this changes apparently broken the slightly older linux-header
package which still has i386 and x86_64.

This needs to be addressed, maybe by simply updating the older linux- 
header,
or changing this line to use different substitutes depending on the  
version
to build.
