Sorry, but these changes will only work when the target architecture
is execute-compatible with the host machine.  These are host executables
that need to be [re]built and the lines inserted into the Makefile will
end up building target executables.  For the PSB kernel, it works fine
since it's x86 and your build host will be x86 or ia64.  It falls apart
for me since my target is ARM.
