I suspect your compiler was miscompiled for a non-EABI ARM
configuration; perhaps putting "shf" on the end of the maching tuple
string messed it up. I can't find the exact logic for UINTPTR_TYPE,
but my copy of gcc-4.7.3/gcc/config/arm/arm.h contains:
#define SIZE_TYPE (TARGET_AAPCS_BASED ? "unsigned int" : "long unsigned int")
suggesting that for AAPCS-based (EABI) targets, the correct type for
pointer-sized integer types is int, whereas on legacy targets, a long
type was used.
Note that if your compiler was miscompiled for non-EABI, many other
things will be wrong, like alignment/padding of 64-bit arguments, etc.
