That way you only find users of the symbol, not where it is defined.

You can use

    git grep -W "config\s*64BIT" -- arch/

to find out which architectures are 32-bit, 64-bit, or support both.

Alpha is 64-bit only. So the code under arch/alpha/ does not need to check for
CONFIG_64BIT, hence you didn't find it;-)

32-bit only on Linux.
