I fixed one of these sorts of warnings in bfd/coff-rs6000.c but for
some reason my compilers (7.3.0 and 8.1.1) didn't complain here.  Oh
well, presumably the warning has been quieted for simpler cases of
unsigned int bit-field being promoted to int as per the C standard.
The one in coff-rs6000.c involved "howto->bitsize + howto->rightshift
== some_unsigned_value".

I've committed the following.

	* dw2gencfi.c (emit_expr_encoded, output_fde): Warning fixes.
