Same here. I'd so much love to just have ARCH an CROSS_COMPILE in my .config for cross-builds. Oterwise I keep forgetting them, or keep forgetting to unset CROSS_COMPILE and will just waist a lot of time either way. The fact the the .config files even mention what architecture they are for in a comment but don't make use of that information is just hostile to users.
