So what would happen if I get a perf.data file on a powerpc system and
then try to do data-type profiling on a x86 system?

I'm processing this now, but please consider fixing this up in some
other fashion, I think we have support for collecting registers in a way
that perf.data has all that is needed for us to print them in a cross
arch way, no?

I see there is the FIXME there, ok.
