This is a patch against the top-level Makefile in Linux 2.3.40. It will
use a file called .arch to decide which architecture to build for. If
no .arch file exists, it will be created.
Why do I want this? Because I often build for an architecture which is
not the native one. Saving the architecture in .arch is more convenient
then typing "make ARCH=foo".
Is is possible that Linus would accept this?
