The idea of a single SRCARCH and differing ARCHs for adjusting the build semantics as we have now is quite straightforward and seems clean enough without pushing for ARCH unification. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
