Description GNUtoo 2007-10-12 16:48:26 UTC 
it seems that the kernel has no Makefile because make xconfig doesn't work

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-mm1/
2.make xconfig
3.make menuconfig
4.make config

Actual Results:  
# make xconfig
Makefile:456: /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-mm1/arch//Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-2.6.23-mm1/arch//Makefile'.  Stop.
# make menuconfig
Makefile:456: /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-mm1/arch//Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-2.6.23-mm1/arch//Makefile'.  Stop.
# make config
Makefile:456: /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-mm1/arch//Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-2.6.23-mm1/arch//Makefile'.  Stop.

This is happening because $ARCH is unset and not detected. I'm seeing the same problem  on =sys-kernel.vanilla-sources-2.6.23. Calling make from the topdir fails:
root@indigo:/usr/src/linux-2.6.23# make menuconfig
make: *** No rule to make target `menuconfig'.  Stop.

Ofcourse, all kernel modules from portage are barfing on it too :-)

yes ARCH is not set:
# echo $ARCH

but make xconfig in others kernel work fine...what should i do
Comment 3 GNUtoo 2007-10-13 14:33:42 UTC 
ARCH="i386" make xconfig works...
but i wonder how to push the per-arch variable in /etc/env.d...
(mabe an eclass...i realy don't know)
Comment 4 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-02-24 21:39:41 UTC 
the kernel attempts to autodetect the arch, it doesn't read from the environment unless it has to

we don't support mm-sources so bugs like this should go to LKML or similar
