So you are saying that there's nothing in the file--not a single
thing--that would allow GDB to find out if the debug info is for 64 or
n32 ABI?

Would it be reasonable then to try one format, and if that fails, try
the other?  (I know that it fails somewhere, because when I try to
debug a 64-bit executable with GDB built from current CVS, it
complains about something like ``wrong version'' (IIRC).)
