Hrm, perhaps someone should create a script (or new make target) which
would, if executed after the kernel was configured, delete all unecessary
architecture details (Of course, don't do this by default, incase people
want to build from the same source, but for differenct archs).

Or even (though this is going waaay too far): delete any parts of the
kernel you aren't using. Thats a bit stupid though..
