I personally use the third ARCH (i386 and x86_64 beeing the first two):
make ARCH=x86
that way the bitness isn't implied but an actual configuration-point.
CONFIG_64BIT (The very first menu-point with menuconfig)

And i'm still wondering what the hell the problem is with ARCH=x86 that 
prevents it from beeing the default.
