Thanks for checking it in! I was expecting a few more rounds of patches,
so this was a *very* nice surprise!

This might be a stupid question, but how does the test deal with
regressions in dll parsing? It seems to me like the test would pass even
if objudmp can't parse System.Runtime.dll. The "file format not
recognized" is the same error that a objdump built without the fix
prints out:

$ objdump -x /usr/lib64/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/2.1.12/System.Runtime.dll
objdump: /usr/lib64/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App/2.1.12/System.Runtime.dll: file format not recognized

Ah, thank you. Is there a way I can discover this myself (for next
time)? Would ./configure --enable-targets=all flag this for me?

Apologies. I was expecting a few more rounds of patches so I figured I
could be a bit sloppy and skip this. Sorry.

Regards,
Omair
