I never met such old mach-o files.  MacOS X Tiger and Leopard uses  
this new convention and IIRC previous
versions didn't support dwarf (stabs was use by default in Tiger - the  
switch to dwarf is very recent).

HJ, it seems that you added this code:

revision 1.113
date: 2005/09/30 14:57:52;  author: hjl;  state: Exp;  lines: +47 -0
2005-09-30  H.J. Lu  <hongjiu.lu@intel.com>

        * dwarf.c (fetch_indirect_string): Adjust for section address.
        (process_debug_info): Likewise.
        (display_debug_loc): Likewise.
        (display_debug_ranges): Likewise.

        * objdump.c (mach_o_dwarf_sections): New.
        (generic_dwarf_sections): Likewise.
        (check_mach_o_dwarf): Likewise.
        (dump_dwarf): Call check_mach_o_dwarf.

Do you remember of the context ?

Tristan.
