i debated adding a flag for that once and ended up with a 'not now, but maybe 
someday'

yeah, that might be a better idea anyways ... after all, we dont want to limit 
our concept of different co-existing ABI's to just 32bit/64bit

also, you may want to use -F to control the output rather relying on the
