[PATCH v1] Add support to recognise 32 bit core file formats in AIX 7.3
This patch addresses an issue where GDB on AIX 7.3 fails to recognize 32-bit core dump files. The problem stems from the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library not supporting the specific core file format used in AIX 7.3. Applying this patch enables BFD to correctly identify and process these core files, resolving the GDB error.
