This does not always match the architecture names used for tasks like header installation. E.g. for building tests on powerpc64, we need ARCH=powerpc and not ARCH=ppc64 or ARCH=ppc64le. Otherwise, the build fails as shown below. $ uname -m ppc64le $ make -C tools/testing/selftests/vm make: Entering directory '/home/sandipan/linux/tools/testing/selftests/vm' make --no-builtin-rules ARCH=ppc64le -C ../../../.. headers_install make[1]: Entering directory '/home/sandipan/linux' Makefile:653: arch/ppc64le/Makefile: No such file or directory make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/ppc64le/Makefile'.
