Well, some people will argue that:
make ARCH=i386 whateverconfig
is less typing than:
make CONFIG_64BIT=y whateverconfig # set bitness make CONFIG_64BIT=y ARCH=x86 whateverconfig # set architecture and bitness
but yes, in the long run i agree that 'ARCH=i386' would simply be a (legacy) shortcut for:
CONFIG_64BIT=y ARCH=x86
and 'ARCH=x86_64' should be a (legacy) shortcut for:
CONFIG_64BIT=n ARCH=x86
Thanks,
Ingo
