Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 4/7] objtool: add target architecture to usage
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 15:49:57 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260826195000.455905-5-joe.lawrence@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260826195000.455905-1-joe.lawrence@redhat.com>

Display the target architecture in the objtool usage string so that
users can identify which arch variant of objtool they are running.  This
is useful when cross-compiling and automated testing.
