(or ack my variant which ought to be > pretty close) SIGWENCH; have to run. Back later. Can we make it something like "This version preserves the legacy ARCH=i386/ARCH=x86_64 behaviour for randconfig/oldconfig/all*config, although I believe that this *ought* to be removed in the future, in favour of a generic method of overriding config options — one that doesn't work *only* for one particular config setting (CONFIG_64BIT), and *only* on one architecture (there's no equivalent for mips/powerpc/s390/parisc/sparc to flip CONFIG_64BIT for you)." It's less of an 'attitude' but I think it clearly states the situation? -- dwmw2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
