Hi,

Is there a good way (or a shortcut) to do something like:

$ make ARCH=powerpc O=PPC32 [other_options] allmodconfig
  to get a PPC32/32BIT allmodconfig

and also be able to do:

$make ARCH=powerpc O=PPC64 [other_options] allmodconfig
  to get a PPC64/64BIT allmodconfig?  

Hrm... O= is for the separate build dir, so there much be something
else.

You mean having ARCH= aliases like ppc/ppc32 and ppc64 ?  

Yes.

That would be a matter of overriding some .config defaults I suppose, I
don't know how this is done on other archs.

I see the aliasing trick in the Makefile but that's about it.

Note that arch/x86, arch/sh, and arch/sparc have ways to do
some flavor(s) of this (from Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.txt;
sh and sparc based on a recent "fix" patch from me):  

I fail to see what you are actually talking about here ... sorry. Do
you have concrete examples on x86 or sparc ? From what I can tell the
"i386" or "sparc32/sparc64" aliases just change SRCARCH in Makefile and
32 vs 64-bit is just a Kconfig option...  

Yes, your summary is mostly correct.

I'm just looking for a way to do cross-compile builds that are close to
ppc32 allmodconfig and ppc64 allmodconfig.

Would there a problem with adding ARCH=ppc32 / ppc64 matching? This
seems to work...

Thanks,
Nick
