I really hate this pattern of running the file through sed and 
synthesizing the #line.

I know this was built up out of several of the other patches, but I am 
commenting on it here.

Can you instead move the duplicated code to a file to be included 
twice, parameterizing it with one or more preprocessor macros?

I.E.:

.
.
.
#define AARCH64_ABI 32
#include "elfnn-arch64.c"
#undef AARCH64_ABI
#define AARCH64_ABI 64
#include "elfnn-arch64.c"
.
.
.
