+Lack of architecture in gdbstub makes debugging confusing
+
+I spent some quality time debugging GEF and came to a conclusion here:
+https://github.com/hugsy/gef/issues/598#issuecomment-819174169
+
+tldr;
+
+* gdb_arch_name was undefined on riscv
+* this bug was fixed recently via https://github.com/qemu/qemu/commit/edf647864bdab84ed4b1a4f47ea05be6bb075c69
+
+
+* An undefined gdb_arch_name results in qemu's gdbstub omitting the <architecture> xml.
+* gdb translates a missing <architecture> as "auto" which breaks a lot of stuff.
+* tracking down where "auto" comes from is a bit confusing and time consuming.
+
+
+It might be better to report a missing / blank gdb_arch_name as "<architecture>unknown</architecture>" instead of omitting the block completely.
