the architecture must be anyway specified in the kernel source tree.
using a different architecture in the alsa-driver configuration will
confuse the compilation, which one should be picked up actually.

please note that the kernel tree doesn't have to be identical with the
one for the running kernel.  you can use a different kernel tree via
--with-kernel option of alsa-driver's configure script.
thus, a solution is to make a mirror of kernel-tree and change
linux/autoconf.h and linux/version.h to reflect the preferred
architecture target.
