Thanks for doing this.
This looks good to me, save for the issue below.
I do wonder whether there's a more general fix we can do in the
makefiles, but I'm not sure how that'd have to work. Maybe by storing
the architecture used somewhere and amending the error based on that,
or hacking around the specific x86_64/UML incompatibilities. But let's
go ahead with this fix regardless.
I agree the right fix is to see if kunit.py can suggest the right arch
to clean. I will take a look at that.
It is an easy change to the main Makefile. Will send the patch tomorrow.
We won't need the documentation and help message changes with the main
Makefile change.
thanks,
