That was also something that I found a bit weird myself, but I had
assumed there was a good reason for keeping that. The original
command also returns a string containing Kconfig:

>  done
>  echo "$ALLSOURCE_ARCHS"'

gives the same output as my command (albeit with an extra leading
space that shouldn't be important):

However, if there really is no reason for that being there, I
have no complaints against fixing it. I'll send a v3 in a bit.
