The cross compilation target should not matter, this is a host program.
It does work for me on Linux (openSUSE 12.3 FWIW), with gcc 4.7.2 and
glibc 2.17:

$ gcc -m64 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -O2
-fomit-frame-pointer -Itools/include -o scripts/sortextable
scripts/sortextable.c; echo $?
0

What is the type of Elf64_Shdr::sh_offset in OS X's <elf.h>? In glibc,
this is Elf64_Off, which is a typedef name for uint64_t.
