Add support to recognise 32 bit core file formats in AIX 7.3
This patch adds support to the binutils BFD library for recognizing 32-bit core dump file formats on AIX 7.3. Previously, GDB would report these files as unrecognized, preventing analysis. The patch ensures that BFD can correctly identify these formats, allowing tools like GDB to process them.
