0x3E = 62 

The VSI C compiler I'm using (or rather sys$startlet_c(elfdef) from 2017) doesn't
seem to define a EHDR$K_EM_X86_64 macro to go along with the
EHDR$K_EM_IA_64 macro.

I have a program that scans a directory of shareable images to see which ones
define a particular symbol in their symbol vector. I want it to deal gracefully
with all files it may encounter in a mixed-architecture cluster.
