Given that it's used elsewhere, is there more to it than just:

int
dumper::init_core_dump ()
{
  bfd_init ();

- core_bfd = bfd_openw (file_name, "elf32-i386");
+ core_bfd = bfd_openw (file_name, "elf64-x86");
  if (core_bfd == NULL)
    {
      bfd_perror ("opening bfd");
      goto failed;
    }

  if (!bfd_set_format (core_bfd, bfd_core))
    {
      bfd_perror ("setting bfd format");
      goto failed;
    }

- if (!bfd_set_arch_mach (core_bfd, bfd_arch_i386, 0))
+ if (!bfd_set_arch_mach (core_bfd, bfd_arch_i386, bfd_mach_x86_64))
    {
      bfd_perror ("setting bfd architecture");
      goto failed;
    }

  return 1;

failed:
  dumper_abort ();
  return 0;

}
