The former sounds definitely useful and was on my list for some time
now.

The important thing is that all arch-dependent code is properly hidden
in arch directories and doesn't break unsupported architectures.  ltrace
is full of ifdefs as it is, and I would very much prefer that we don't
add more of that.

Posting the patch series would be the first step.  Or you could upload
your repository to github or somewhere and post a link.  The point is
that others can review the code, even though "others" seems to be "I"
lately.
