I couldn't figure out how to do that. Could you give an example?
It looks like the instruction_reader_thumb only takes an array of
uint16_t (even though the instructions are 32bit long). But I might be
looking at the wrong code.

So the following fixes it for me on s390x and ppc64

diff --git a/gdb/arm-tdep.c b/gdb/arm-tdep.c
index d4c5beb5e06..ef0da73398d 100644
--- a/gdb/arm-tdep.c
+++ b/gdb/arm-tdep.c
@@ -14471,7 +14471,7 @@ arm_record_test (void)
 
     static const uint16_t insns[] = {
       /* 1d ee 70 7f    mrc    15, 0, r7, cr13, cr0, {3} */
-      0xee1d, 0x7f70,
+      0x7f70, 0xee1d,
     };
 
     enum bfd_endian endian = gdbarch_byte_order_for_code (arm_record.gdbarch);

But obviously that breaks things on little-endian architectures.
We could define the insns[] differently using

 #if _BYTE_ORDER == _LITTLE_ENDIAN
      0xee1d, 0x7f70,
 #else
      0x7f70, 0xee1d,
 #endif

But that might not be what you meant.

Thanks,

Mark
