When you are cleaning up...

archclean:
        $(Q)rm -rf $(objtree)/arch/i386
        $(Q)rm -rf $(objtree)/arch/x86_64

Do we need this hack now?
I recall it was some backward soon-to-be-removed hack we made right after the x86 merge.

Well, the hack hasn't been removed at least not in that particular 
branch... we still create bzImage symlinks.

It would be nice to fix that, I agree, and that would clean up the 
Makefile further.
