uname -a shows you the architecture the *kernel* was compiled for.
This may be different than the architecture for the rest of the
operating system.  For example, this Debian box is running a 64-bit
kernel, with the rest of the operating system being 32-bit:

marvin% uname -a
Linux marvin 3.12-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.12.6-1 (2013-12-21) x86_64 GNU/Linux
marvin% dpkg --print-architecture
i386
