Hi all.  Is there a utility or procedure which can remove a bunch of the code
from extraneous architectures from my kernel source tree?  I only want to build
kernels for my beloved Powermac 8500 and so I can do without code specific to
ia32, S390, Alpha, MIPS, and friends.

Even if you just know of a few directories I can remove and save a couple dozen
megs of space, that'd be good.

you can probably safly rm -rf everything under arch/* except arch/ppc
and include/asm-* except include/asm-ppc.  i haven't tried this but i
would expect this not to break anything (and if it does thats probably
a bug).

As I recall, LinuxPPC 2000 shipped kernel source like this (without
testing ;), and a few PPC headers include m68k headers.
