Trying to do a 32bit build on a 64bit machine.
I did..
make ARCH=i386 oldconfig

Walking through my mailbox I found this one.
I did not get similar reports and I cannot reproduce it.
Do you continue to see this or had it been fixed somehow?

Still happens for me with the latest tree from git.

$ make ARCH=i386 arch/x86/
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o
HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf
scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
UPD include/linux/utsrelease.h
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
/mnt/raid0/src/linux-2.6/arch/x86/Makefile_32:43: *** Recursive variable `KBUILD_CFLAGS' references itself (eventually). Stop.
make: *** [arch/x86/] Error 2

The only way I can see it heppen is that you have lost
the initial assignmnet in top-level Makefile so
make see this as an '=' assinment and not a ':='
assignment.

$ git diff Makefile
$

(This tree is completely pristine, no changes at all)
