How about I change it to use amacro like this:


#define BITS_AND_SHIFT(bits, shift) (bits * 1000 | shift)
			    
	  switch BITS_AND_SHIFT (relocs[i]->howto->bitsize,
				 relocs[i]->howto->rightshift)
	    {
	    case BITS_AND_SHIFT (32, 0):
	      reloc_data[total_relocs].type = 3;
	      total_relocs++;
	      break;
	    case BITS_AND_SHIFT (16, 0):
	      reloc_data[total_relocs].type = 2;
	      total_relocs++;
	      break;
	    case BITS_AND_SHIFT (16, 16):
	      reloc_data[total_relocs].type = 4;
	      /* FIXME: we can't know the symbol's right value yet,
		 but we probably can safely assume that CE will relocate
		 us in 64k blocks, so leaving it zero is safe */
	      reloc_data[total_relocs].extra = 0;
	      total_relocs++;
	      break;
	    case BITS_AND_SHIFT (26, 2):
	      reloc_data[total_relocs].type = 5;
	      total_relocs++;
	      break;

Cheers
