[PATCH] kbuild: include localarch for simple cross overrides

From: Mike Frysinger
Date: Wed Oct 29 2008 - 14:21:48 EST


For people banging on kernel trees which are dedicated to a specific arch,
it'd be nice to allow the repo itself to declare the default ARCH (and
CROSS_COMPILE) easily. Just like the "localversion-*" files, people can
just do:
echo 'ARCH ?= blackfin' > localarch
and the tree will default to 'blackfin' all the time rather than whatever
the build machine happens to be.
