[PATCH v2] x86/defconfigs: Explicitly unset CONFIG_64BIT in i386_defconfig

From: Daniel Díaz
Date: Wed Aug 19 2020 - 13:32:53 EST


A recent refresh of the defconfigs got rid of the following
(unset) config:

# CONFIG_64BIT is not set

Innocuous as it seems, when the config file is saved again the
behavior is changed so that CONFIG_64BIT=y.

Currently,

$ make i386_defconfig
$ grep CONFIG_64BIT .config
CONFIG_64BIT=y

whereas previously (and with this patch):

$ make i386_defconfig
$ grep CONFIG_64BIT .config
# CONFIG_64BIT is not set

This was found with weird compiler errors on OpenEmbedded
builds, as the compiler was unable to cope with 64-bits data
types:
