hmm, that seems messy. gdb & ld have specific --enable-64-bit-bfd options
(albeit, copied & pasted from bfd/configure.ac). should that instead be
refactored into e.g. config/bfd64.m4 and then all these subdirs get that
same configure logic ?

--enable-targets=all does not though, and riscv32 only needs a 32-bit bfd.
the symbols in question aren't tied to the bfd size.
tbh, i haven't been following what's been going on, i just raise my head
when the sim fails to link. and it's failing to link now after this change.
