New Revision: 217054

Log:
   Unbreak the LINT build. PS3 kernels can only be built 64-bit, and LINT is
   built for both architectures. We need a better solution here.
NOTES64?  (At some point it almost seems that a sys/powerpc64/conf/ with
GENERIC and NOTES would be simpler even if that is all the sys/powerpc64
directory contained).


Adding a /sys/powerpc64/conf makes all kinds of things harder, since it implies MACHINE=powerpc64. You then have to duplicate all the stuff in /sys/conf, special-case things in /sys/boot, add tons of stub headers, etc., etc. I had this while developing, and it was much worse to deal with than the current setup -- and while developing, I could use symlinks in the tree.

A NOTES64, or conditional logic in config(8), are better solutions, I think.
