On binutils configured with --enable-targets=x86_64-linux-gnu (target
i486-linux-gnu) (or running on x86_64-linux-gnu with target i486-linuxaout (I
suppose any target could show the bug as long as the utils run on x86_64)), nm
and objdump, when run on a.out object files or executables (at least QMAGIC and
OMAGIC flavours) show addresses on 64bits, which confuses old programmes which
assume a 32 bit space addressing (namely dlltools).
When the same utils are run on elf32 object files or executables the adresses
are shown on 32bits.
However if the host and targets are 32bits only the problem does not show.
I suspect some kind of leak of the internal representation of addresses for
these programmes.
