The value returned by `uname -m` for Intel/AMD processors supporting the
64 bit ISA is x86_64. There are no other values that would be matched by
"*", either in the middle or at the end of x86*64*. This is unlike i*86
where you could have i386, i486, i586 and i686.

That's my assertion from my understanding of config.guess I used as a
reference.
