Re: make mrproper

The system architecture is determined by the processor. uname -p would 
  list what is the architecture with which the current working kernel 
was compiled. This choice will work but it might not be the optimal 
one. The best way to determine the optimal architecture is to look at 
what processor you have (cat /proc/cpuinfo). For a Pentium III based 
system, the optimal architecture type is i686 for example. If your 
system has a two or more procs, choose also the SMP kernel config.

What kind of processor do you have?
