Hey cool and Thanks Daniel.

I feel over this "CONFIG_64BIT not set" when I wanted to test the
patchset [0] in ClangBuiltLinux issue #194 ... but never did :-(.

I never reported upstream - it is good you sent out a patch with
explicitly setting CONFIG_64BIT=n when using i386_defconfig.

At least I send a patch to remove a leftover [4].
