Not the first time, or the last!  :-)

Are you sure it's working?  I was watching openssl & glibc both compile
on my screen, and I never say anything that looked like:  -march i686
or any gcc parameter containing "686" (except for the kernel).

Not to mention the comment near "uname", only says "kernel".  :-)

# fake uname to display another platform we want to compile the kernel 

And, yes, I doubled checked my .config file:   CONFIG_CPU=686
