The reference to qemu-user-static was meant to be for
with /nxb-bin/. . . (or some form of native tools). It
is the native tools that initially have MACHINE_ARCH
being amd64 by default for the example contexts.

Absent that, qemu-arm-static would likely report armv6 for
all arm's until the explicit assignment. (The "armv6" is a
single compile-time constant in the qemu-arm-static
source at this time.) So this likely would behave as on
a native build: -O .
