NACK. You have just broken:
make ARCH=i386 randconfig
on a 64-bit box that has a 32-bit .config in its kernel directory.
The randconfig/allyesconfig/allnoconfig variants override whatever is in
the current .config. Making the result depend on whatever is in the
.config at the moment is fundamentally wrong.
"oldconfig" on the other hand has correct sensitivity to the existing
.config - and that always worked correctly. So if you pop a 32-bit or a
64-bit .config into a kernel tree, that will be listened to, no matter
whether you are on a 32-bit or on a 64-bit host.
