I am aware of this, but the current appears to be broken more. When I
was using '-a' it didn't work as advertised in the usage message. Short
*arch* options aren't documented there, so I suppose most people didn't
use them. ARM is the only architecture that supports short options by
defining OPT_* as characters. HPPA appears to be using them in the
optstring (copied from ARM?) but not in OPT_*. Would you like me to
clean this up too in v3?

In summary: undocumented, on one platform.

P.S. Please, cc me. I am not subscribed to the list.
