[Steve Langasek <steve.langasek@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve Langasek has proposed merging lp:~vorlon/apport/apport-cross-powerpc into lp:apport.

Requested reviews:
  Apport upstream developers (apport-hackers)

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~vorlon/apport/apport-cross-powerpc/+merge/156678

Since I just had reason to hand-retrace a powerpc core dump with gdb-multiarch,
I thought it would be a good idea to teach apport the right options to
enable it to do the same.

Note that this is of limited utility currently in launchpad / errors.u.c,
because ddebs.u.c doesn't have any powerpc debug symbols; but I don't see
any reason not to include the support in apport anyway.
