Rooting round in the architecture vector would work.

(I have a strong dislike for those hardwired <config>.exp predicates.
The testsuite should separatly: query GDB for a mechanisms status; cross
check with <config>.exp that the status matches what is expected.)

Or [kernel_..._p]. We have to assume that kernel vendors have vaguely
sane branding.

I'll kfail this since, in theory at least, GDB can work around the
breakage by using software single-step.
