let's keep variables together, can you move it up to `local
pahole_ver` above? btw, does it need `=`, or `local paholeopt` will
just create it as an empty variable?

it looks weird that there is no space between -J and $extra_paholeopt,
why complicating things? extra space isn't a big deal in command
invocation, imo
