That would be incredibly helpful.  I've asked ARM/Linaro, Imagination and
Intel for help on LLDB.  Your examples in one architecture could be
templates for examples in other architectures.

If you don't have time for that, just putting together a doc of things for
them to check would be incredibly valuable.
