Re: RFC: Annotate immediates in x86 disassembly
This patch addresses an error encountered when running the binutils testsuite in x86-64 mode. The error arises because the exe variable, representing the executable extension, is not defined in the x86-64.exp test script. The patch resolves this by explicitly setting exe using [exeext], ensuring the testsuite functions correctly in x86-64 environments. The change restores the functionality of the testsuite.
