Dear Scott Wood,

In message <20091019212409.GA31322@loki.buserror.net> you wrote:

I have to admit that I don't see the problem. When I explicitly ask
for a specific ARCH setting on the command line (versus using some
setting I inherited from the envrionment, eventually even unaware of
the current value), then I do want to use that. So the current code
seems to do what I would expect from it.

Maybe my expectations are whacky, though.

I tend to NAK this one.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
