Hi Aaron,

> Created attachment 14299 [details]

Further testing has revealed another problem:  The patched objdump.c calls
bfd_elf_find_nearest_line_with_alt() even for targets which do not use the
ELF file format.  (Which are therefore built without bfd/elf.c and hence do
not define bfd_elf_find_nearest_line_with_alt).

The are file formats, eg PE, which can use DWARF debug information, so 
ideally what you need to do is to add a new vector to the bfd_target
structure (defined in bfd/targets.c) and a new macro to call it (like
the ones in bfd/bfd.c), plus initialisers for this new field in all the
various target specific initialiser files.  Which is a lot of hassle I
know, but it is the proper way to solve this problem.

Cheers
  Nick
