Linux doesn't care - 32, 64, (16 !) whatever the architecture supports.

I recall that you also suggested that people install an intel-only libc
to fix module loading, instead of a generic patch to insmod.

Many might consider it better to check data before writing it, rather
than write garbage and disclaim it's accuracy.

What are you going to claim next - "Linux is not portable" ?

PS. I suggest getting a new copy of the kernel source, you appear to
be missing some stuff under linux/arch/ - it is possible that you have
somehow managed to hard-link arch to arch/i386.
