I'm working on getting BFD to work okay with a coff implementation that has
unusual sizes for many fields, ie 32 bit f_magic, etc. the problem is that 
the usual _do...b... functions will not copy the right information if 
the internal field size is different than the file field size. 

So, should I just write my own routines for field loading, or is this
a problem that we really want to solve in general? It seems that as
coff is stretched onto 64 bit machines and wierd embedded control
architectures, filed size difference problems will become more common.


	thanks,
