Need emit_expr to write right shifted value.

Hi,

In binutils I need to write an offset between two symbols shifted right by 2 bits. This offset is written to the xdata section. My code currently looks like this:

exp.X_op = O_subtract; exp.X_add_symbol = symbol1; exp.X_op_symbol = symbol2; emit_expr (&exp, 2);

This works fine but obviously the result value is not shifted. Anyone have a good option is to shift the output of emit_expr at write time?

I cannot use resolve_expression because the symbols do not have correct addresses at the time this code executes.

Any help appreciated,

Zac
