Hi Nick,

Thanks for your review and sorry for the later reply.
I am also curious here. As you can see from below URL, the default
mode for gcc 4.7 and 4.8 is still c90 which doesn't support long long.
The long long is supported in c99. So I don't think it is safe to use
long long in gas so far, because there will be errors when you build
long long with host gcc 4.7 or 4.8. I am wondering whether it is
possible to default the mode to c99 for building binutils? This means
explicitly adding -std=c99 when building binutils.

BR,
Terry
