Without the patch, the "extend" command on an x86_64 binary that can
be used to analyze ppc64le dumpfiles fails with the error meesage
"extend: <path to extension>: not an ELF format object".

I'm not sure which tag I should use in this case, so if you want
me to use another one e.g. Signed-off-by, please let me know.
