I did:

# build a linux-2.6.22-rc4-git4 kernel source tree & cd into it
# mkdir BLD
$ make ARCH=i386 O=BLD defconfig
$ make -j4 O=BLD all >BLD/bld.out 2>&1

and it cried to me:

  GEN     /scsi/linsrc/linux-2.6.22-rc4-git4/BLD/Makefile
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86_64/Kconfig
#... many config warning lines
*
* Restart config...

*
* Processor type and features

Subarchitecture Type
> 1. PC-compatible (X86_PC)
  2. Support for ScaleMP vSMP (X86_VSMP) (NEW)
choice[1-2]: aborted!

Console input/output is redirected. Run 'make oldconfig' to update configuration.

make[3]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 1
make[2]: *** [silentoldconfig] Error 2
make[1]: *** [include/config/auto.conf] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2


I.e., see the line above that says:
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86_64/Kconfig

It defaulted to ARCH=x86_64 even though BLD/Makefile contained:

ARCH		= i386


What did I do wrong??
