You should get the target architecture and merge the one from the core file and 
then set the target architecture using that.


ArchSpec target_arch = m_target.GetArchitecture();
ArchSpec core_arch = m_core_module_sp->GetArchitecture();

target_arch.MergeFrom(core_arch);

if (arch.IsValid())
    m_target.SetArchitecture(arch);

This way any unspecified unknowns will not replace what is in the target's 
original architecture.
