To the newly added x86 maintainers:  Arnd brought up the point that
elf_core_dump writes the ABI siginfo format into the core dump. That
format differs for i386 vs x32.  Is there any good way to find out
which is the right format when are not in a syscall?

As far a I can tell x32 vs i386 just seems to be based around what
syscall table was used for the current syscall, but core dumps aren't
always in syscall context.
