Hi Doug,

  It is an artifact of the BFD library that objdump -h shows the uncompressed
versions of compressed debug sections.  It could be argues that this is in fact
more helpful to the user, since it gives an idea of the total amount of
debugging information in the executable.

  So I have uploaded a proposed patch which extends the -j option of objdump so
that it will accept .debug.<foo> as an alias for .zdebug.<foo>.  It also
updates the documentation of objdump to describe the behaviour of the -h option
in more detail.  Please could you try out this patch and let me know what you
think.

Cheers
  Nick
