Yes, this was indeed my thinking and why i hardcoded it.

actually in the code:

  unsigned int dld_flags_value;
[...]
  dld_flags_value = extract_unsigned_integer (dld_flags_buffer,
                                              sizeof (dld_flags_value));

so the code does not anyway allow dld_flags_value to be 64-bit. (i don't
think anyone ever does 64-bit int's, right?)
