This thread ("linux-parisc compile failure in current git")
was posted more than a year ago.

If you start a new discussion,
let's open a new thread with a proper mail subject.

Ah, OK.

Then, you can mimic sparc code.





In the top Makefile:


ifeq ($(ARCH),sparc32)
       SRCARCH := sparc
endif
ifeq ($(ARCH),sparc64)
       SRCARCH := sparc
endif




In arch/sparc/Kconfig:


config 64BIT
        bool "64-bit kernel" if "$(ARCH)" = "sparc"
        default "$(ARCH)" = "sparc64"





"make ARCH=sparc32 randconfig" always disables
CONFIG_64BIT, and randomizes the rest of options.


"make ARCH=sparc64 randconfig" always enables
CONFIG_64BIT, and randomizes the rest of options.


"make ARCH=sparc randconfig" randomizes all options,
including CONFIG_64BIT.





I suggest to introduce ARCH=parisc32
