Hi,
I am not sure if this was the right place to ask such questions, so I
have asked on StackExchange instead:

Hi,
I am attempting to build a kernel for VyOS 1.2.0 (which is based on
Debian Jessie) for the i386 architecture and I have been trying to
target the kernel at the 586 processor.
I have a kernel configuration, which defines 'CONFIG_M586=y', in the
kernel source tree:
./arch/x86/configs/i386_vyos_defconfig
I then run `make i386_vyos_defconfig` followed by `make-kpkg
kernel_image`.
However at some point during the build process the configuration is
updated to set `CONFIG_M686=y` instead. I have attempted to set
'--subarch i586' but it doesn't seem to help.
Please could someone help me by explain what is going on and how I
configure it to target 586 instead?
Thanks!
nick.
The full shell script that calls `make-kpkg` is here:

I am using kernel-package 13.014+nmu1 with a patch to fix bug #890817.
