I think I will go with SRCARCH then. The directory names don't change so often.
Could you quickly check if the following is OK? It works on x86-64.
diff --git a/scripts/xz_wrap.sh b/scripts/xz_wrap.sh --- a/scripts/xz_wrap.sh +++ b/scripts/xz_wrap.sh @@ -12,8 +12,8 @@ BCJ= LZMA2OPTS= -case $ARCH in - x86|x86_64) BCJ=--x86 ;; +case $SRCARCH in + x86) BCJ=--x86 ;; powerpc) BCJ=--powerpc ;; ia64) BCJ=--ia64; LZMA2OPTS=pb=4 ;; arm) BCJ=--arm ;; > Will you get a patch to Linus then to fix all of these in 3.4?
I will. Should the fix be included in the stable trees too? I'm not sure if this is acceptable under the stable kernel rules. At least someone should test it on SPARC first.
