[Bug 1585702] Re: not possible to retrace ppc64el crashes

[Brian Murray]

If you don't want to remove the arch checks this works:

           if 'aarch64' in arch:
               command += ['--ex', 'set architecture aarch64', '--ex', 'set gnutarget elf64-littleaarch64']
           elif 'ppc64le' in arch:
               command += ['--ex', 'set architecture powerpc:common64', '--ex', 'set gnutarget elf64-powerpcle']

Bug description:
  I was trying to retrace a ppc64el crash I found and ran into the
  following issue:

  Calling gdb command: gdb-multiarch --ex 'set architecture powerpc:common' --ex 'set gnutarget elf32-powerpc' --ex 'set debug-file-directory /tmp/apport_sandbox_Y6fXCx/usr/lib/debug' --ex 'set solib-absolute-prefix /tmp/apport_sandbox_Y6fXCx' --ex 'file "/tmp/apport_sandbox_Y6fXCx//usr/bin/xfce4-panel"' --ex 'core-file /tmp/apport_core_N0Vrmm'
