ok, digging a bit more, that isn't going to work.  the gas parsing logic is 
tied too closely to the bfd_vma type which is directly tied to the 
aforementioned configure flag.

since the fact.s test already tests both values (full & truncated), and in 
reality the compiled code is the same for both (since gas does the 
truncation), i've commented out the test that is larger than 32bits.
