Hello,
On my machine, a 32-bit application generated a core file. When I tried to load it with gdb, there are lot of errors and warning.

My application is 32 bit:
$file myapp
myapp: ELF 32-bit LSB executable 80386 Version 1 [SSE2 SSE CMOV FPU], dynamically linked, not stripped
I tried with different architecture but no success
(gdb) set archi
Requires an argument. Valid arguments are i386, i386:x86-64, i386:x64-32, i8086,
i386:intel, i386:x86-64:intel, i386:x64-32:intel,
i386:nacl, i386:x86-64:nacl, i386:x64-32:nacl, auto
If I debug a 64-bit application, then there is no problem.
