This should have been fixed, or it's about to be fixed. My patch is here: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/93e5c33fc6e8cff6/39aff558a636ad02 (This patch was superseded by another patch, which may be delayed or mm-only.) OTOH, if you can implement ARCH= using CONFIG_ARCH, why not? Just don't forget to keep the scripts running, and make randconfig only select buildable archs. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
