   Since the latest ELF/MIPS change, elf32/mips is now 64bit. As the
   result,

   # ...../configure --enable-targets=all

   no longer works on 32bit hosts. Here is a patch to move elf32/mips
   to 64bit.

Mark, would it be feasible to instead modify your code so that 32bit
MIPS ELF support does not require a 64 bit bfd_vma?  On many machines,
using a 64 bit bfd_vma is a significant cost in efficiency, and I
would prefer to not force people to pay it unnecessarily.

Ian
