I described in a previous email (https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/9/3/200) the
types which are used. Here is a part of this email:

* When compiling relocs_32.c, sec->shdr.sh_size is of type Elf32_Word
(unsigned int) and sec->shdr.sh_offset is Elf32_Off (unsigned int).
* When compiling relocs_64.c, sec->shdr.sh_size is Elf64_Xword (long
long unsigned int when the compiler is in 32-bit mode, long unsigned int
in 64-bit mode) and sec->shdr.sh_offset is Elf64_Off (same real type as
sec->shdr.sh_size).

With this in mind, would you accept a patch which casts everything to
64-bit integers (uint64_t) and uses PRIu64 (which is %llu on 32-bit x86
and %lu on 64-bit x86)?
