I would like to be able to run hp-systray from gdb to get a stacktrace and help fix a very annoying bug that's been around for a while now. However, if I try to run
gdb hp-systray 2>&1 | tee ~/gdb-hp-systray.txt
as per the Ubuntu Wiki's article on getting a backtrace, I get the following output:
GNU gdb (Ubuntu/Linaro 7.4-0ubuntu1) 7.4

For bug reporting instructions, please see:

"/usr/bin/hp-systray": not in executable format: File format not recognized
Furthermore, using gdb's run command returns the following:
(gdb) run
Starting program:
No executable file specified.
Use the "file" or "exec-file" command.
Running hp-systray on its own in the terminal works as expected, so how can I get it to run from gdb?
