I.e. with the two patches I mentioned, that are equivalent to the last patch I
sent to Stephen for testing, we would end up with HOSTARCH=powerpc and
ARCH=x86, no?

Thanks for spelling it out, that helped a lot.

Glad you liked it, I had to do it for my own sanity :-)

And something that gave me mixed feelings was an e-mail from the kbuild
test bot that noticed my perf/core changes and said that the build was
broken for "make ARCH=x86_64", so I had to reinstate this part:

ifeq ($(ARCH),x86_64)
ARCH := x86
endif

Because, as you say, 'make ARCH=x86' works :-\ I think it will not be
needed with your patch, right? I'm checking your patch below right now,

Yeah, that shouldn't be needed with my patch.  I think either would
work, but my patch is more of a permanent solution.

Sure, I left it there because then we don't have bisection broke at that
fix I made, i.e. 'make ARCH=x86_64' works at that point too.

I applied your patch and will push it to Ingo, now we must cross our
fingers so that Stephen doesn't come back to us once more telling it is
still broken :o)
