Sure, what was being discussed was people who build 32-bit x86 kernels
on a 64-bit platform.  I do this occasionally to check and make sure
that 32-compat ioctl handling is working correctly, etc.  I suspect
there are more developers setting just ARCH= and not CROSS_COMPILE
because they are building 32-bit x86 kernels (which can then be
trivially tested using qemu) than there are building cross-compiled
kernels for a completely different architecture.

I saw this thread and decided I didn't care because I use a standard
"kbuild32" script (I also have a "kbuild" script for building normal
64-bit kernels), and it always passes ARCH=i386.
