I do consider it fine BFD handles all addresses as 64-bit internally. I just think it should truncate them to 32-bits upon printing (and always whenever appropriate) when the selected target is 32-bit. It does so (it has to!) for output anyway, so what's the deal? > If you're really only doing 32-bit mips you might consider removing the > 64 bit targets in the config.bfd... I think that will solve the problems. Nope, I insist 32-bit targets need to work correctly regardless of whether there are any 64-bit ones supported by a particular BFD binary or not. Do you think elf32-i386 should switch to printing 64-bit addresses if elf64-alpha is also supported by a given configuration of BFD? I don't. -- + Maciej W.
