I don't know how it ever worked at all if I was missing that.
It arch going to always be the canonical name of the target
architecture?   I tried my powerpc and mips and it worked.

Why doesn't it default to the default architecture binutils was
built for?

I feel rather stupid since I know this used to work.  Thanks.
