Examining crashdump data of other architecture on a different architecture
than the origin of the crashdump data will require a big amount of code
and adjustments, why bother?

Crashdumps contain data which is highly platform/software dependent.


For example, Solaris' crashdumps should be examined on the same
architecture/solaris version  where the crashdump came from, otherwise
it's.
