Which seems rather unnatural to me.  All other merge architectures have

respectively.  It would be nice if x86 could behave like all other
architectures in this respect.  Especially as the behaviour of the other
architectures is a lot more intuitive.

Yes, that would be nice.  I keep forgetting the ARCH= in my crossbuild
trees, and end up with strange mismashes.

That, however, is a bigger problem that also affects, for example, compiling for MIPS on an x86 host. I believe Sam is working on a solution for that.

(That doesn't mean that is not the right thing to do.)
