The GNU configure scripts usually match on i[3456]86-*-*) for
architecture support, so that's not a problem.

I usually do something like:

a = $(shell dpkg --print-architecture)

ifeq (i386,$(a))
arch = i486-debian-linux
else
arch = $(a)-debian-linux

build: config.status
	make
       
config.status:
	./configure --prefix=/usr $(arch)
