[Bug binutils/813] New: Objdump not always respecting -j switch

[dk at artimi dot com]

As reported at
  http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2005-03/msg00913.html
(and followups - the thread is a bit broken in the archive), the command

     objdump -j .text --syms <filename>

which might be expected to only dump symbols from the .text section, in fact
dumps all symbols from the object.  Confirmed across multiple versions and
targets of binutils, as well as HEAD/cygwin.
