Is this capable of taking the same set of values that the objdump -m
flag is?

It might make sense to use -m, so that people who know about it in
objdump will have an easier time with it, but it doesn't matter
much...

It might also be best to call the long option '--output-architecture',
and make it generally settable, i.e. not just for binary files.
