Hi,

Can someone tell me if the i386 one is to be used when we want to build for a 32bit machine and the x86_64 is to be used for 64 bit machine?

You can build the kernel with any architecture for any architecture. This is called cross-compiling. The homepage [0] should explain you how to do that. Cheers, Matthias [0] http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ/KernelCrossCompilation

Thanks,
