I think this is ok as a default, but ideally the various Python
methods would take an optional architecture argument. That would mean
having some Python representation of the architecture.
I think any place that acquires the GIL should probably also set the
architecture. I noticed that gdbpy_new_objfile was not touched in
your patch; there may be other places as well. Perhaps all this work
could be done by a single convenience function, to make it harder to
forget in the future.
If we had some notion of the "host architecture", then stuff like
builtin_type_pyint could just use that instead. Those defines really
represent types on the host.
