No, because there is no point.

make ARCH=i386   allnoconfig
make ARCH=x86_64 allnoconfig
make ARCH=i386   defconfig
make ARCH=x86_64 defconfig
make ARCH=i386   allmodconfig
make ARCH=x86_64 allmodconfig

are OK and are used this way and are consistent with other archs.

Unification to death is not needed.
