Which seems rather unnatural to me. All other merge architectures have
ARCH=<archdir> where archdir is the name under arch, e.g. mips, powerpc,
s390. They then have a CONFIG_FOO_64 and set the utsname and -m32/-m64
respectively. It would be nice if x86 could behave like all other
architectures in this respect. Especially as the behaviour of the other
architectures is a lot more intuitive.
Yes, that would be nice. I keep forgetting the ARCH= in my crossbuild
trees, and end up with strange mismashes.
That, however, is a bigger problem that also affects, for example,
compiling for MIPS on an x86 host. I believe Sam is working on a
solution for that.
(That doesn't mean that is not the right thing to do.)
