The default is not meant to work for cross compilations. ARCH/SUBARCH
can take `uname` into account. See Makefile and scripts/subarch.include.
But as Arnd mentioned, it most probably does not make any sense to cater
to native LoongArch32 builds. Just use the 64-bit variant unconditionally.
It is easy enough to override.
