the host type checking is handled (in glibc) by scripts/config.guess.
Running the script with verbose output (bash -x or bash -v) might help
to see what goes wrong.
I would first check the different uname calls at the beginning of
config.guess:
$ uname -m;uname -r;uname -s ;uname -v

If this is ok, ld should be called.
You've got to check this yourself,
Andreas
