Hi Rafael,
Thanks for your response.

My intention for representing the sh_entsize field of an ELF section header
as uint64_t is to maintain consistency between the elf.h representation, 
which uses Elf64_Xword for 64bit ELFs, and can consequentially also hold
the max value for a 32bit ELF. LLVM already represents the sh_size field 
as a 64bit value for the section header.  Is there some limitation 
that would prevent us from having such large sh_entsize fields for 64bit ELFs?

We probably should  report an error if we discover a sh_size
or sh_entsize larger than what can be represented by an Elf32 or Elf64.
