From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The mcount_loc sorting for when the values are stored in the Elf_Rela
entries uses the compare_extable() function to do the compares in the
qsort(). That function does handle byte swapping if the machine being
compiled for is a different endian than the host machine. But the
sort_relocs() function sorts an array that pulled in the values from the
Elf_Rela section and has already done the swapping.

Create two new compare functions that will sort the direct values. One
will sort 32 bit values and the other will sort the 64 bit value. One of
these will be assigned to a compare_values function pointer and that will
be used for sorting the Elf_Rela mcount values.
