This is what KBUILD_DEFCONFIG is for. A general purpose defconfig that has no hope of being kept up-to-date is worse than useless. > arm is another one which uses this style, ia64 for example uses configs/* > and defconfig. But on arm and sh `make defconfig` works contrary to v850. > That's because it looks at KBUILD_DEFCONFIG.. We absolutely do not want to have an arch/foo/defconfig for most of these architectures, and I doubt that v850 is an exception. Note that sh also does not have one.
