Hi MaskRay,

  Ehh, I am in two minds about this.  On the one hand, it would make sense for
objdump to display all of the relocation sections when it is asked to, rather
than just ignoring the SHT_RELR sections.  On the other hand, we already have
readelf doing this and adding more code to the binutils just means adding more
potential bugs.

  I basically see two approaches to solving this issue.  Either 1) have objdump
issue a message along the lines of "section XXX contains RELR formatted relocs
which are not supported by objdump" or 2) move readelf's code for dumping RELR
relocs into a separate file which can then be used by both readelf and objdump.

  I like 1) for its simplicity and 2) for its
give-the-user-all-the-support-we-can approach.  Do you have a preference ?

Cheers
  Nick
