> This patch addresses issues I've seen in binutils about
> cross-compilers and dwarf2 display via objdump -W on hosts, which have
> sizeof (long) < target's sizeof(void *). Additionally same issue of

> Those issues are caused by the fact that the dwarf2.h header in
> include/ is using unconditionally the type 'unsigned long' for

I tested those patches for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu too and had no
regressions. Ok for apply, or any comments?
