This x86 assembler patch:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2001-11/msg00344.html
generates a .note section for .arch directive so that gdb can
tell which architecture an i386 binary belongs:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2001-11/msg00271.html
However, x86 assembly code can have any instructions.
A .note section doesn't help. Is GDB using the .note section
today? If not, I'd like to remove it.
