Fix Irix core dumps

Reading a core dump on Irix has bit-rotted some time since GDB 4.18
(which works).  The enclosed patch to BFD sets a bit which GDB needs
(specifically the so-called GDB multiarch code, which is now used on
all MIPS targets).

This is a companion patch to
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2001-02/msg00161.html - if I
apply both of them, core dumps work again on Irix 6.5.8m.

	* irix-core.c (irix_core_core_file_p): Set the architecture (GDB
	multiarch needs it).
