  "use raw value" looks vague, as the example below makes is go from
using a value (ffffffffffffca2c) to no value at all, i.e. the output
looks backwards from what you describe, can you instead show the
original disassembled line from objdump, which I think is what you're
calling "raw value" in this case?
