I'll investigate further. Maybe you did just "make clean"? That leaves at least the "include/asm" symlink around. But maybe there is some other file that "make mrproper" doesn't actually remove and that gets generated with your 64-bit config or build, but not mine. You can always test with doing a git ls-files -o to see if there are any "other" files (ie build-generated ones) around. (On that same vein: I have taught my fingers to just do "git clean -dqfx" instead of "make distclean". Works with any git repository, and avoids any makefile bugs that leave generated files behind).
