Well, "when building on 32 bits" it currently suffices to do:
    make allnoconfig

and the patch changes that.

Just like it is surprising to get a CONFIG_X86_32=y .config when doing
allnoconfig on x86_64 it is also surprising to get a
CONFIG_X86_64=y .config when doing allyesconfig on i386. So I think a
more general solution to these surprising .configs should be considered.
 
Thanks,
