Hi Sneha,

My target is an ia64 architecture and the host is i686 gnu linux ...
the objdump is not recognzing the file format i.e. ELF64 ..
I am using binutils-2.17.
Where all should the changes be made to make atleast objdump work ..

Have a look at the function "elfNN_ia64_object_p" in bfd/elfxx-ia64.c. It is this function (once translated into elf64_ia64_object_p via the build process) that is supposed to be able to detect ELF64 format IA64 binary files.

Cheers
  Nick
