[Bug ld/643] New: PE support broken on LP64 host

[arto dot huusko at utu dot fi]

binutils version: 2.15.90-20040222

PE support in ld(1) is broken when hosted on LP64 host.

The problem is in pe-dll.c file in function fill_edata(). It does pointer
arithmetic and writes some pieces of edata memory block through
unsigned long pointers, which is very wrong on LP64 host.

I'm sorry I don't have a patch handy, but the fix I applied to pe-dll.c
is basically including <stdint.h> and doing s/unsigned long \*/uint32_t \*/g
in fill_edata().

After doing this and recompiling, I was able to produce working DLL's
for win32 on NetBSD/sparc64 host.
