It works, but... The question here is why the script behaviour depends
so much on the architecture in question (by environment). ARM stuff is
using traditional ARCH (and that's what I have expected to work),
while x86 has a set of other variables.
So, I have to rephrase the commit message then and do actually an
alias when ARCH is set in a certain way, Would it be better?
