[Bug binutils/3257] New: "strings -T" doesn't work

[dlitz at dlitz dot net]

The -T option for strings isn't recognized, even though strings --help
lists it.

This happens in at least:
- Debian binutils 2.17-1 (i386)
- Debian binutils-multiarch 2.17-2 (i386)
- Fedora Core 5 binutils.i386 0:2.16.91.0.6-5

$ strings -T binary /bin/cat
strings: invalid option -- T
[snip usage]

$ strings -Tbinary /bin/cat
strings: invalid option -- T
[snip usage]

$ strings --target=binary /bin/cat
/lib/ld-linux.so.2
__gmon_start__
libc.so.6
stpcpy
ioctl
stdout
memmove
getopt_long
__fpending
[snip]

$ strings --help
[snip]
  -T --target=<BFDNAME>     Specify the binary file format
