So are you saying it is not necessary to have CONFIG_X86_64=y in the |
| 32 |
kernel configuration file to get a 64-bit system? I know I'm exposing |
| 33 |
my ignorance here but it seems odd that the kernel config you pointed |
| 34 |
me to on the wiki will produce a 64-bit kernel when all the config |
| 35 |
lines specify 32-bit. |
