Presumably that's all the sys headers, not just the sys/sys headers. The 
incorrect definition has been repeated throughout tools/*/sys/exec_elf.h and it 
used in three places in .c files.

It shouldn't be too hard. Change all current occurrences of Half to be Word or 
Quarter depending on what was intended, and then change all occurrences of 
Quarter to be Half. It's probably a good idea to test on sparc64 between the 
two changes because the big endian 64 bit system seems to be good at finding 
dodgy code.

Cheers,
