From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Our logic for choosing defconfig doesn't work well in some situations. For example if you're on a ppc64le machine but you specify a non-empty CROSS_COMPILE, in order to use a non-default toolchain, then defconfig will give you ppc64_defconfig (big endian): $ make CROSS_COMPILE=~/toolchains/gcc-8/bin/powerpc-linux- defconfig *** Default configuration is based on 'ppc64_defconfig' This is because we assume that CROSS_COMPILE being set means we can't be on a ppc machine and rather than checking we just default to ppc64_defconfig. We should just ignore CROSS_COMPILE, instead check the machine with uname and if it's one of ppc, ppc64 or ppc64le then use that defconfig. If it's none of those then we fall back to ppc64_defconfig.
