FWIW, 'show architecture' says:

(gdb) show architecture
The target architecture is set automatically (currently mips:8000)

which i find very pretty.  8-)

if you actually force it, it says:

(gdb) set architecture mips:8000
The target architecture is assumed to be mips:8000
(gdb) show architecture
The target architecture is assumed to be mips:8000

and back to auto:

(gdb) set architecture auto
The target architecture is set automatically (currently mips:8000)


8-)
