This is an insane expectation. This is kernel convention (it has nothing to do with uml): SUBARCH := $(shell uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/x86/ -e s/x86_64/x86/ \ -e s/sun4u/sparc64/ \ -e s/arm.*/arm/ -e s/sa110/arm/ \ -e s/s390x/s390/ -e s/parisc64/parisc/ \ -e s/ppc.*/powerpc/ -e s/mips.*/mips/ \ -e s/sh[234].*/sh/ -e s/aarch64.*/arm64/ ) config 64BIT bool "64-bit kernel" if ARCH = "x86" default ARCH != "i386" ---help--- Say yes to build a 64-bit kernel - formerly known as x86_64 Say no to build a 32-bit kernel - formerly known as i386 If you want to stand on your head and demand that all these conventions be changed against all reason, I have nothing further to say. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
