Summary:                    build for i386/Geode fails
Description: 
Buildroot tries to build Linx kernel, but the architecture isn't set, so it
can't find the Makefile.

Please attach your br2.config and kernel.config for me to reproduce.

This has been discussed in the past and is not limited to geode by any
means:

I am also experiencing the same problem.  I am using snapshot: 2007-10-09
(latest at the time of this writing)

I have tested using Target Arch i386, if I change the arch variants to:
pentium pro, pentium MMX, pentium mobile, pentium2, pentium3, etc... they
all seem to fail to set the ARCH macro correctly.

Arch variants i386, i486, i586, i686 seem to work OK.

This is unrelated to the note that bradmssw mentions as this is even
before buildroot tries to compile anything at all.
