I have patches to add "-W/--dwarf" to objdump. Since objdump uses bfd
to get relocated section contents, it works better on RELA .o files.
Otherthan that, there are no differences between "readelf -w" and
"objdump -W/--dwarf". I also have a patch to support "-W/--dwarf"
on Darwin/i386. Let me know if they should be in the GNU binutils.
Otherwise, I will keep them in the Linux binutils.
