No to both. When you do a "make init" on the Kernel repository, it
will evaluate the ARCH vars.

This is also needed for the media build to work, as it needs to
check what CONFIG vars are enabled on the targeted Kernel.

As I said before, heavily patched Kernel. It seems that the network stack
was updated to some newer version. The media_build backport considers
only the upstream Kernels. In the specific case of 3.4, it is known
to build fine with Kernel linux-3.4.27. See:
