Hi Markus,

The tools (nm, objdump) should be able to cope though.  When I tried running nm
for example I received this error message (after a long pause):

  ./binutils/nm-new: out of memory allocating 18446744071629176800 bytes after
a total of 3221147648 bytes

We ought to be able to better than this.  Or rather the libiberty demangler
should be able to cope better.

Cheers
  Nick
