Actually the .sys format seems to be a 'standard' PE-i386. The problem I 
experienced with the latest CVS binutils was that 
IMAGE_SCN_MEM_NOT_PAGED was not supported. I removed the check in bfd, 
and I got objdump to work properly (which was all I needed). Is there an 
easy way to add support for IMAGE_SCN_MEM_NOT_PAGED without too much 
changes in BFD ?
