You should enter the chroot without using setarch. I'm not sure why the native 
book mention that at all, native means that your host is the same as your CLFS 
target.

I would have thought that your CLFS_TARGET would be "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" 
but it don't matter that much. The output from config.guess and uname -m is not 
literal equal but is the same arch, so you are good to proceed.
