    bfd: Avoid signed overflow for new_size adjustment
    
    When bfd_size_type is unsigned 64-bit integer and sizeof is unsigned
    32-bit integer, subtraction in
    
    *new_size += sizeof (Elf32_External_Chdr) - sizeof (Elf64_External_Chdr);
    
    will overflow.  Use
    
    *new_size -= sizeof (Elf64_External_Chdr) - sizeof (Elf32_External_Chdr);
    
    to avoid overflow.

            for new_size adjustment.
