Hi,
I think it's desireable to have the i386 scripts on amd64
because it also
allows to build the x86 bootblock using the native
toolchain. No need to
run into build.sh tools just to rebuild the boot loader with
different
options ... 

The attached patch does install the ldscripts on amd64. Any
objection ?
