I have read more of package/base/linux24/linux-conf.in and found
the place near the top where $lx_cpu is set.

It is then explicitly reset from i386 to x86 for all of the 2.6-Tree.
That apparently is slightly incorrect because the unificiation did
not happen until after 2.6.18, I did not investigate when exactly
it was introduced.

Commenting out the block makes my build now run clean from download
to final system.

So now I have a T2-HEAD checkout that apart from that very small
modification builds with an older kernel.

Happy.

I would like to rephrase my question:

Is there a cleaner way of doing it? From target-files maybe? Without
requiring a change to the T2-owned script?

Ciao, MM
