Today I was casting the latest mm-kernel and it stopped immediately upon 
building.

I noticed it tried to build for ARCH='' which didn't look right to me. Found 
that in CONFIGURE ARCH gets set from KERNEL_ARCH which is supposed to be a 
persistent variable.

looking in /etc/sorcery/local/depends/linux.p  KERNEL_ARCH was indeed set to 
''. So I edited the file, put i386 in it. Cast -c linux again. ARCH='' and 
hey presto, linux.p shows a blank KERNEL_ARCH.

Hmmmm. cast -r -c linux. Choose i386. no go. same result.
Scratch, hmmmm. added a 'cat /etc/sorcery/local/depends/linux.p' at the end 
of PREPARE and at the start of CONFIGURE.

cast -r -c linux, choose arch = i386:

end of prepare:
  linux.p:
    KERNEL_ARCH=""386
    OLD_CONFIG="y"
    USE_GUI="n"
    REUSE_SOURCE="y"
    CONFIG_KERNEL=""

start of CONFIGURE:
  linux.p:
    KERNEL_ARCH="i386"
    OLD_CONFIG="y"
    USE_GUI="n"
    REUSE_SOURCE="y"
    CONFIG_KERNEL="y"
    CONFIG_KERNEL=""
    KERNEL_ARCH=""

I can't explain this. Anybody who can? Is it a malconfiguration of my box, 
or should I fire up sorcery-bugs?
