Good!  Let me know if you have any questions.

I originally wrote objtool with arch-independence in mind, though with
the new "objtool 2.0" rewrite, it unfortunately became more
x86-specific.

I was hoping to work on making it more arch-independent, and then start
porting it to other arches, but it may be a few months before I have the
time to do so.  So any work you want to there would be great.
