common/bfd_manager.c:228:78: error: unknown type name ‘PTR’
  228 | static void BFDmanager_findAddressInSection (bfd * abfd, asection * section, PTR data)

common/bfd_manager.c: In function ‘BFDmanager_translateAddress’:
common/bfd_manager.c:300:36: error: ‘BFDmanager_findAddressInSection’ undeclared (first use in this function)

Added below line in common/bfd_manager.c for it to work:

#define PTR char*
