Something is very weird -- you're trying to compile a 'i386' platform
file and not the proper 'amd64' platform file.

You show you're trying to build a 64-bit kernel (vs. 32-bit), but let me
ask that this is true just to be perfectly clear.

Geez, could you *please* trim some of the uneeded _1030_ lines in the
original post when you follow up?!?

Specifying 'TARGET_ARCH' isn't part of the 'new school way'.
Only specify 'TARGET_ARCH' when you are trying to do a cross build.
