It's easy to create a test for this specific case but I think it's very hard to
test the exact format of all CLI output in general, and probably not worth the
effort.  The next regression will likely occur elsewhere.

I only have one architecture: my old PC.  I get the same testsuite results
with and without this change (After adding the semi-colon missing in your
patch.).

I didn't really think of it as a patch, I was just trying to draw attention to
the regression.

Actually it was a context diff - so you can read them!  They just look similar
when lines are added.
