The reason it fails is that _bfd_xcoff_slurp_armap() calls H_GET_64(),
but this macro calls bfd_getb64() that BFD_FAIL()s ifndef BFD64. AIX
4.1 is not a 64-bit architecture, so it's reasonable that BFD64 is not
defined, but where is the error: should _bfd_xcoff_slurp_armap() be
fixed so as to not call H_GET_64() ifndef BFD64 or should bfd_getb64
do its job regardless of the macro?
