[Bug binutils/4030] New: objdump ignores .gnu_debuglink

[cebbert at redhat dot com]

objdump does not use the .gnu_debuglink information to
find debug information for a stripped executable. This
means objdump -l does not produce line numbers when
disassembling even though the information is available.

$ gcc -g -o forkfork forkfork.c
$ objcopy --only-keep-debug forkfork forkfork.dbg
$ strip forkfork
$ objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=forkfork.dbg forkfork
$ objdump -h forkfork

forkfork:     file format elf32-i386

$ objdump -l forkfork
