Sigh, nope. The two legacies we have should simply be turned into
trivial aliases that map to the newfangled CONFIG_*=y way of doing
things.
I'll always prefer typing:
make ARCH=x86_64 ...
To:
make ARCH=x86 CONFIG_64BIT=y ...
And others have expressed that in this thread too.
Really, guys, please stop breaking existing tools!
There is no problem to solve here, having ARCH=i386 and ARCH=x86_64
around does not hurt anyone, is well established and actively helps
people so what's your problem?
I'll be happy to learn the new methods and will happily add them to
the toolbox of existing methods.
Thanks,
Ingo
