while reading the source code, I found out the problem probably lies in the function get_arch(self) in plugins/debugger/dbg_gdb.py

        def get_arch(self):
            try:
                arch = gdb.selected_frame().architecture().name()
            except:
                arch = re.search('\(currently (.*)\)', gdb.execute('show architecture', to_string=True)).group(1)
            # pos_1
            return self.archs[arch]

So I simply added a little code at # pos_1 and everything is fine now! ; ) ​
