I've never used um but is this conditional backwards? If ${ARCH} ==
${SUBARCH} then archs="${ARCH} ${SUBARCH}" is equivalent to archs="
${ARCH} ${ARCH}", isn't it?

I'm not quite sure I understand the distinction between ARCH, SRCARCH
and SUBARCH either but is it expected that for ARCH=um, SUBARCH will be
i386/x86_64 or x86? I think it's the former in which case I'd expect
these days nothing will be found in arch/i386 or arch/x86_64? is a
SRCSUBARCH required?

Ian.
