How to determine build architecture (32bit / 64bit) with ant?

We have inherited an ant build file but now need to deploy to both 32bit and 64bit systems.

The non-Java bits are done with GNUMakefiles where we just call "uname" to get the info. Is there a similar or even easier way to mimic this with ant?

java ant build 64-bit

BTW, the os.arch (arch property of the os tag) I got for 64-bit Linux was amd64.

Assuming you are using ANT for building Java Application, Why would you need to know if it is a 32 bit arch or 64-bit? We can always pass parameters to ant tasks. A cleaner way would be to programmaticaly emit the system properties file used by Ant before calling the actual build.
