I think it's intentional, but I'm really annoyed by this behaviour.
I really don't want my config to change from a normal make depending
on uname output. We do have a CONFIG_64BIT in .config which should
be respected. uname output is a good indicator for a previously
unconfigured kernel, but shouldn't change settings for a fully
congigured build. Forgetting the linux32 command happens at least two
dozen times to me everyday, leading to a few lost seconds that add
up in the end.
