This contradicts the whole purpose of als.c - printing an error
message to the console if the kernel is compiled for a newer
architecture than it is running on (and therefore uses instructions
unknown to the current system).
If this can't be fixed/changed in clang, then it should be at least
changed to the lowest possible architecture.
