<STUFF DELETED>
kernel.org has the KERNEL, it's for all supported architectures. You 
grab the same kernel and patches and build it on any architecture, x86, 
x86_64, intel 64-bit, 390, SPARC or whatever.
I have x86 and x86_64 2.6.9-rc2-mm3 kernels built from the same 
downloaded source and one day soon, I shall build linux a kernel for my 
SPARC box after I've blown away the severely crippled Solaris 9 that Sun 
has put up for download.
Regards
Sid.
