config automatically switches from 32-bit to 64-bit for x86

[Jaswinder Singh Rajput]

Hello,

I am trying to build 32 bit kernel image on 64-bit machine but after
'make menuconfig' it automatically switches 32-bit to 64-bit.

Is this a BUG or did intentionally.

How can I fix this issue.


.config (before)
#
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.34
# Wed May 26 03:40:31 2010
#
# CONFIG_64BIT is not set
CONFIG_X86_32=y
# CONFIG_X86_64 is not set
CONFIG_X86=y
CONFIG_INSTRUCTION_DECODER=y
CONFIG_OUTPUT_FORMAT="elf32-i386"
CONFIG_ARCH_DEFCONFIG="arch/x86/configs/i386_defconfig"
CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME=y

.config (after 'make menuconfig' on 64-bit box)
#
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.34
# Wed May 26 23:49:18 2010
#
CONFIG_64BIT=y
# CONFIG_X86_32 is not set
CONFIG_X86_64=y
CONFIG_X86=y
CONFIG_INSTRUCTION_DECODER=y
CONFIG_OUTPUT_FORMAT="elf64-x86-64"
CONFIG_ARCH_DEFCONFIG="arch/x86/configs/x86_64_defconfig"
CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME=y
