Indeed, that's what I was intending on keeping around as a convention,
and simply overloading SRCARCH for the sh64 case. i386/x86_64 potentially
has the same issue though, and if the intent is to have a single ARCH for
both of them, I don't see how that would possibly work witho

In an not opposed to keep ARCH={i386,x86_64} but then we should
establish clear semantics.
What does it imply when I build a kernel with ARCH=i386?

This is one of the things I've been wondering about with an sh/sh64
unification, as we have no option but having completely different
toolchains, and CONFIG_64BIT=y won't work there when they are both
using a 32-bit ABI.
IMO it seems like you ought to be able to do

They _are_ different in the real world... that's why
make ARCH=i386
is so often used.
