so ok, i'v dropped using the ARCH=
still

All the configs i tried failed:

make O=builds/rpi2? rpi_2_defconfig
make O=builds/rpi2 mrproper?? <==tried this too

make O=builds/rpi2 -w -d V=1 CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-eabi-
qemu_mips_defconfig
orangepi_zero_defconfig

qemu_arm_defconfig


Of course the builds all work just fine without O=, and results in the 
main directory.

So this is not just a problem on my machine?, i guess everyone just uses 
it like so ?

anyway i am sufficiently annoyed with it, i'll have a go@finding out 
why......
