Thanks very much for submitting this patch.

Since this patch adds a new feature to objdump it definitely needs a
copyright assignment before it can be accepted.  If you are willing
to make such an assignment please fill out the email form attached
below and send it off the FSF.  The process will take a while but it
should be worth it as they we can consider accepting your patches.

As for the patch itself, there are a couple of issues:

  * It needs a ChangeLog entry.

  * Since you are adding a new feature it needs to be documented.
    Please extend the patch to include changes to
    binutils/doc/binutils.texi and binutils/NEWS.

  * Please try to follow the GNU coding standard.  (In the patch there
    are several comments that ought to be reformatted to include a
    terminating period followed by two spaces.  Also there are places
    where there is no space between a function name and its opening
    parenthesis).

Cheers
        Nick
