This reverts commit a6f52930a6.
In addition to also causing the problem in [YOCTO #9579], this commit
was reverted in krogoth and master but wasn't reverted in jethro but
should be. The original revert message was:
This reverts commit 8d310b24927d0f348fb431895f0583733db2aad0.
That commit completely breaks KBUILD_DEFCONFIG because it relies on
$ARCH to match between the target OE arch and the kernel subdirectory
containing the defconfigs. In the kernel all defconfigs for everything
x86-based (including x86_64) is stored in dir arch/x86/configs/
kernel-yocto.bbclass correctly searches for all the defconfigs inside
${S}/arch/${ARCH}/configs/${KBUILD_DEFCONFIG}
Commit 8d310b249 makes it search in wrong places and _only_ if you
define TARGET_ARCH = "athlon" will it search x86 which is nonsensical.
The commit further adds an if clause to hack the mungled kernel arches
back to their original values (ugh) in do_shared_workdir which is run
after do compile, but of course the build breaks before that in
do_kernel_metadata because of the KBUILD_DEFCONFIG mentioned above (so
that hack is useless).
Please fix that corner case bug in another way which does not completely
screw up the kernel arch mapping & defconfig logic. If 64bit configs are
generated in the kernel for 32bit machines because the host is asked,
then it it a bug in the kernel, it is of no use to hack around it in OE.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
bitbake: Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto(-bsp): Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
