Yes, as Randy said, this works.

Yep.

That patch "partly" works, in the sense that with:
make ARCH=parisc64 randconfig

you randomly end up with a 32- or 64-bit kernel.
Since "ARCH=parisc64" was given, one probably would expect a 64-bit-enabled kernel randconfig,
and with "ARCH=parisc" a 32-bit randconfig.
But, I'm not sure if this intended or not and works that way on other arches as well.

As written in the other mail, I added this patch in for-next:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=34793a5d09d9122f90acfa7e8f705436d5090d4d
The downside is, you need to give a special make target: parisc_randconfig / parisc64_randconfig
