  symfile-mem.c has some assertions about the size of various types, to
ensure that gdb and BFD don't get out of sync in a way that would
cause bugs.

Once CORE_ADDR is always 64-bit, one of these assertions can fail for
a 32-bit BFD build.  However, the real requirement here is just that
CORE_ADDR is wider -- because this code promotes a bfd_vma to a
CORE_ADDR.

This patch corrects the assert.
