size of bfd_vma

Not quite.  A bfd_vma is defined as a BFD_HOST_U_64_BIT type which is 
computed by the configure script as whatever C type can hold an unsigned 
  64-bit value.  Thus on a 32-bit host it will be a "unsigned long long" 
and on a 64-bit host it will be an "unsigned long".  Either way a 
bfd_vma is a 64-bit unsigned value.

Cheers
