The problem is it is not allowing me to assemble all sub-architectures for say arm or arm64 as a dynamic module. I have to specify and select each option (sub-hardware architecture) specifically during build of defconfig for the architecture. My x86 is also blocking the build at times.

I am not sure if you understand this or not, but you need to have a series of toolchains for each arch you need to cross compile at different locations.<br>For different binaries of different arch, I would suggest you use different directories of same source code. Generally make clean or distclean should get rid of most binaries, but starting a clean build is always the best idea. <br>
Toolchains can be bit of a pain to get right. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Courier New,courier,monaco,monospace,sans-serif">

pretty much on most distribution, you can install ncurses and go for make menuconfig and then just make(i.e. if you are native compiling the kernel). <br>However the config for distributions are fairly complex these days, so you may require to build few other things like initrd and create devices files and all.
