Re: generalize bfd_get_sign_extend_vma ?

Well that would mean modifying a lot of files.  Why not just extend
the code in bfd.c to work for djgpp ?  I know that your way would be
cleaner in the long run, but how many other architectures are actually
going to need to provide this information ?

Cheers
