PROBLEM: Cross-compiling fails (patch included)

  Hi there!

When using kernel-package (Debian specific kernel-management) to 
cross-compile a kernel in a i386-chroot on my x86_64 laptop 
modules_install fails when trying to depmod things. Since we should not 
depmod those things if the arch being built isn't the same as 'uname -m' 
I wrote a patch for the Makefile to test those conditions.
