--- Comment #2 from Ivan Pozdeev <vano at mail dot mipt.ru> ---
A core file is a faithful representation of the executable - its state at the
moment of crash. How can its architecture possibly be different?
All in all, for all purposes, this looks like a sure tell that the core doesn't
match the file so there's no use in going on anyway - the results would be
meaningless.

I considered core_file_matches_executable_p() and rejected it because its
failure only results in a (not seriously sounding) warning while this is a
critical error. If the subroutine can call error() or something itself without
breaking the design, I have no objections.
