SuSE has returned MACHTYPE=x86_64 on 64-bit machines for a long time, btw:

(root@chouse5) /root># echo $MACHTYPE
x86_64
(root@chouse5) /root># rpm -q zsh 
zsh-4.2.0-31.1
(root@chouse5) /root># ls -l /bin/zsh
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 559056 Jun 30  2004 /bin/zsh*
(root@chouse5) /root># cat /etc/SuSE-release 
SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (x86_64)
VERSION = 9
PATCHLEVEL = 3
