There's no magic there. The current system only knows because the
Makefile sets an ARCH symbol to one of the following:
alpha i386 m68k mips64 s390 sparc arm ia64 mips ppc sh sparc64
The Makefile then uses that to generate the name of the top-level config file
So this is not "completely different"; the only question is how and where to
do the following mapping:
alpha -DALPHA
i386 -DX86
m68k -DM68K
mips64 -DMIPS64
s390 -DS390
sparc -DSPARC32
arm -DARM
ia64 -DIA64
mips -DMIPS32
ppc -DPPC
sh -DSUPERH
sparc64 -DSPARC64
The following line does it...
PREDEF := -D$(shell uname -m | sed \
-e s/i.86/x86/ \
-e s/sun4u/sparc64/ \
-e s/arm.*/arm/ \
-e s/sa110/arm/ \
-e s/sparc$$/sparc64/ \
-e s/mips$$/mips64/ \
-e s/sh$$/superh64/ \
| tr "[a-z]" "[A-Z]")

Gak! I just violated my own practice guidelines! :-)
I'll fix.
