I don't think that does the same thing. The desired effect of this diff is:

* "uname -m" when running on a RISC-V machine returns either riscv32 or
riscv64, as that's what tools like autoconf expect when trying to find
tuples.

* I can cross compile for riscv32 and riscv64. That's currently controlled by
a Kconfig setting, but ARCH=riscv32 vs ARCH=riscv64 controlls what defconfig
sets.

* I can natively compile for riscv32 and riscv64. That uses the same Kconfig
setting, and the same ARCH=riscv32 vs ARCH=riscv64 switch for defconfig.

Neither of the two Kconfig issues is a big deal, but we de need "uname -m" to
return "riscv64" or "riscv32" not "riscv". I think the only way to do that is
to set SRCARCH, but I'd be happy to change it if there's a better way. I think
if I just do this

then I'll end up with "uname -m" as "riscv" -- I haven't tried it, but that's
why we ended up with this diff in the first place.
