No, I have no clue what you're trying to accomplish. You wanted to
supply ARCH when decoding a 32-bit oops because you expected ARCH to
work...?

AFLAGS has always been there, ARM folks added ARCH AFAIR. Also, you need
AFLAGS to compile the snippet in the correct bitsize.

And there's a usage note at the beginning of the script and I always
read it to make sure I'm using it right.

So what's the problem again?
