Yes, this mostly works and is similar to a patch (my patch) on my test machine.
And they both work for allmodconfig, which is my primary build target.

And they both have one little quirk that is confusing when the build target
is defconfig:

When ARCH=ppc32, the terminal output (stdout) is: (using O=PPC32)

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/rdunlap/lnx/lnx-418-rc3/PPC32'
  GEN     ./Makefile
*** Default configuration is based on 'ppc64_defconfig'   <<<<< NOTE <<<<<
#
# configuration written to .config
#
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/rdunlap/lnx/lnx-418-rc3/PPC32'


I expect that can be fixed also.  :)

And the written .config file is indeed for 32BIT, not 64BIT.

Thanks, Nick.
