I know there is a place to specify arch in the kernel .config file, but
I dont think the gcc knows about this. the --subarch switch tells the
gcc about that and it puts in certain optimizations.

I always do this now because I had a problem with some stale modules
left behind after I recompiled a kernel(thats what I get for not
listening to the warnings) but IMHO its just good practice to get rid of
bad and old kernels.
Also the revision number isnt going to be included in the kernel name.
You might try
--append_to_version foo
foo being something that differentiates between each kernel(perhaps 1.0)
