This is what both 32 and 64bit uname(1) return my amd64 Linux
machines:

njoly@raclette-adm2 [~]> file ./uname64 
./uname64: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for 
GNU/Linux 2.4.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
njoly@raclette-adm2 [~]> ./uname64 -a
Linux raclette-adm2.calcul.pasteur.fr 2.6.9-42.0.10.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Feb 27

njoly@raclette-adm2 [~]> file ./uname32 
./uname32: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for 
GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
