We do exactly this (mpi/config.links).  However if config.guess guesses
the wrong system we can't do much about it.  We want to fix either
config.guess to detect the system properly or the autoconf cross
compiler test.  This kk1 version is a Debian build of libgcrypt and they
usually replace config.sub with modern versions, but I am not sure about
this specific one.

In any case, a system with a 64 bit kernel and a 32 bit user land is
non-standard (although common it seems).
