With recent multiarch (really, multiplatform) rework, oldconfig will
reask users what platforms they want to build for. The default is N,
so holding return (or an olddefconfig) will just disable all boards and
with it all CPUs leading to a cryptic torrent of:
arch/arm/include/asm/swab.h:31:28: warning: "__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__" is not defined, evaluates to 0 [-Wundef]
31 | #if defined(__KERNEL__) && __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ >= 6
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Make user experience a bit better by printing an error message instead.
