Could you summarize for me how this is supposed to work?  This means
that get_field treats littlebyte_bigword exactly the same as little.
There's another copy of get_field in libiberty (I don't know why there
are two) which treats it exactly the same as big, instead.  I don't
know how that works either, but it seems the two ought to agree.
