Shrug.  Various provisions of ISO C make it pretty darn likely that
sizeof(void *) == sizeof(size_t).  But you're right, it isn't a
guarantee (and would be ugly even if it were).

Something like "extract_address (&lm->field, sizeof (lm->field))" I
think.  I didn't suggest that at first because I thought it would
require massive solib.c changes to use separate internal and external
structures like in BFD.  But I guess that isn't true, I guess you can
just change the cast to a call to extract_address.
