This maybe a dumb question, but if gcc -dumpmachine does it, why would we need dpkg-architecture in Debian? Also, gcc -dumpmachine will tell you the CPU, OS and SYSTEM, but will not tell you if the userland is 32 bit on a 64bit CPU (or does it? I don't have an AMD64 machine around). I think a 'file -L /lib/libc.so.6' will give you this information.
