amd64? When compiler on macOS, it's DEFINITELY x86_64. Isn't it the same in MinGW?

Hi,

what should the string for MARCH be in the deken file name for Intel
compatible processors, the deken documentation is unclear here:

- 64 bit: amd64 or x86_64?
AFAIK both mean the same thing, but are used in different contexts, most
Linux distros use amd64, while on Windows x64 (Visual Studio) and x86_64
(MinGW) are used, no idea about Mac.

use "amd64" (although "x86_64" is allowed as well, the former is more
concise and used by the 'deken' cmdline utility)
