$ARCH is getting stepped on somehow.  There is an src/arch/i386
directory, and Makefile tries to set it like this:

# If no architecture is specified in Config or on the command-line,
# use that of the build machine.
#
ARCH            ?= $(shell uname -m | sed -e s,i[3456789]86,i386,)

I suspect it's already set in your environment.  Perhaps the name is a
bit too generic.
