Sorry, my bad. I think I jumped the gun here! However, the documentation 
in lldb-gdb-remote.txt does state that for qHostInfo:

cputype: is a number that is the mach-o CPU type that is being debugged 
(base 10)

but for qProcessInfo:
cputype: the Mach-O CPU type of the process  (base 16)

So I wondered whether bases of either message were intended to be 
different. That's why I think something is a bit wrong in the docs. Then 
I looked at the parsing code, and unfortunately misinterpreted the 0 
specification :-(

However, what do you (and others!) think of the discrepancy between the 
qHostInfo and qProcessInfo docs?
