karch Parameter
---------------

   (type=string, default to karch of the system).  Same as the `-k'
option to Amd.  Allows you to override the kernel-architecture of your
system.  Useful for example on Sun (Sparc) machines, where you can
build one Amd binary, and run it on multiple machines, yet you want
each one to get the correct karch variable set (for example, sun4c,
sun4m, sun4u, etc.)  Note that if not specified, Amd will use uname(2)
to figure out the kernel architecture of the machine.
