[lldb-dev] Disassembling issue

Hi Ted,

Indeed, my lldb-server was returning the x86 triple.
I have managed to return the good triple by "hacking" the function
"GDBRemoteCommunicationServerCommon::Handle_qHostInfo" to return my
"ArchSpec" instead of going through the "HostInfo::GetArchitecture()"
function.

I think my problem is more about how I added my architecture into lldb. I
will start a new thread about it.

Thank you Ted for the answers, it was very helpful.
