Scenario: I do a make menuconfig on my sparc64 machine. When mconf exits, it
tells me "Next, you may run 'make bzImage', 'make bzdisk', or 'make install'."
Problem: These are i386-specific targets. Issuing a "make help", I see
that {vmlinux{,.aout},tftpboot.img} are the sparc64-specific targets.
Solution: Get mconf to tell the user about arch-specific targets,
instead of i386 targets.
So, here is a trivial patch that change scripts/kconfig/Makefile and
scripts/kconfig/mconf.c. Small changes are also needed in most of the
arch/*/Makefiles. I've attached patches for all arch's that define
archhelp.
(I'm not shure if this is the easiest way to accomplish this, but
I've tested it (on sparc64) and it seems to work ok)
Patches are against 2.5.63.
