Hi Eric,

I searched in the mailing list of binutils for the bfd_mach_*
constants, and found a patch in "Change bfd machine consts to enums"
topic (http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2002-02/msg00470.html). I
guess this is helpful to make porting easy. Why it's not been
accepted?

Well the only reason that I can think of is that there is no pressing need to make the change. The current system works, so why change it ?

IMO, 'enum' is better than '#define'.

Well if you care enough about it, please submit an updated patch designed to apply to the current mainline sources and I will review it.

Cheers
  Nick
