        around in macros--for example libaout.h defines GET_WORD to
        either bfd_get_32 or bfd_get_64.
 
+       In the put routines, val must be a bfd_vma.  If we are on a
+       system without prototypes, the caller is responsible for making
+       sure that is true, with a cast if necessary.  We don't cast
+       them in the macro definitions because that would prevent lint
+       or gcc -Wall from detecting sins such as passing a pointer.
+       To detect calling these with less than a bfd_vma, use gcc
+       -Wconversion on a host with 64 bit bfd_vma's.
