Re: RFC: designated initializer vs. long long for i386 assembler

I need much more than 2 bits, which won't fit in the current
32bit int.


Then I suggest adding another field.  I don't think we can force
people to use a C99 compiler to build binutils.


Adding another field will lead to massive changes to x86 assembler.
I will use long long if C99 feature isn't desirable.


"long long" _is_ a C99 feature.  GCC had it before of course,
but not all the world builds binutils using GCC ;-)
