--- Comment #4 from Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil at redhat dot com> ---
You are right the provided core file is weird, it is not from real world, it
was artifically hacked. It tries to mimic kdump kernel core file from 32-bit
PAE kernel - which is elf64-i386.
What is clear that GDB should not assert on arbitrarily wrong external file.
(a) possibly
(b) no
(c) no
But I would be fine just if it PASSes the testcase - that is it ignores
PRSTATUS and it still can read the data segments.
