Hmm... Yes, perhaps it would be nice to have such an exception. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko

Nice, TIL about the extended 'make *config' targets. :-)
Curiously, they aren't even mentioned in the 'configuration targets'
section of 'make help' and are not discoverable unless you know their
locations.
Anyway, your fix makes sense now to me too.
Do we need a similar for x86_64 defconfig, when built on 32-bit hosts? (not
that anyone does that in practice, but just for completeness.)
Also, it would be nice if there was a way to annotate the defconfig for
'make savedefconfig' preserved these ARCH choices - it currently strips out
all non-enabled options that match their default configuration value.
Thanks,
Ingo

Maybe wrong way to do it, just plain "make i386_defconfig". I'm aware of
ARCH=, but never needed to specify it for x86 targets.

Thanks for pointing out. Whatever Ingo prefers (though personally I
think the other one requires more work on the shrinking commit
message).

uname => x86_64
make i386_defconfig
It was very convenient to not supply ARCH when build on multi-arch host.

[PATCH v1] x86/defconfigs: Unbreak 32-bit defconfig builds
After the commit 1d0e12fd3a84 ("x86/defconfigs: Refresh defconfig files")
32-bit builds using defconfig become broken because on x86_64 build host
with no ARCH provided the default behaviour is to assume 64-bit independently
on the configuration file name. The crucial part is CONFIG_64BIT option
that used to be explicit. Let restore the latter option in order to unbreak
32-bit builds.
