You should not need the processor name in the OSABI ("embedded ABIs"
are kind of a special case, which is why you see the processor name
in those). You also should not need the "64" .. I would guess that
would be differentiated based on the object file format (SOM [32] vs.
Elf32 vs. Elf64 -- assuming hppa64 binaries use the Elf64 format; I'm
not sure that they do, please educate me :-).
So, I think you only need GDB_OSABI_HPUX.
Assuming that HPPA64 and HPPA are different ABIs (true?), then they
should be identified using separate OSABI designations. That way, the
ABI code is independant of the underlying object file format (ELF or SOM
or ....).
