Compiling a i386 kernel on a x64 system.

An earlier message stated that this can be done, but it doesn't seem to work
on my system, so perhaps I am missing something.
I use the kernel.org source code, and copy the same .config file I use on the
i386 machine. If I run make menuconfig or just make, it prompts for
processor, and only give x86 options..
The new phenom II 955 system can build a kernel in about 12 minutes
versus the 2 hours of the other system, so being able to build with the new
system would be a real advantage.
The i386 has Fedora 10, and the x64 has Fedora 11.
Perhaps something else needs to be installed, or some option.
Thanks.
