Uhhhh no, what I mean is, 

e.g.

For userspace, if 32bit:
root at localhost:~# file /bin/bash
/bin/bash: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.34, stripped

For kernel, if 64bit:
(in kernel config)
CONFIG_64BIT=y
# CONFIG_X86_32 is not set
CONFIG_X86_64=y
CONFIG_X86=y

Take for example, I want to run crash to do some kernel debugging, in this case,
I would want crash to be 64bits.
