Hi Travis,

  The reason for the discrepancy is that objdump's -S option uses the BFD
library to load DWARF debug information, and this library does include to look
for debuginfo files based upon the build-id.  Objdump's other options all use
the DWARF parsing code shared by programs in the binutils/ directory, and this
code does not/did not look for build-id based debuginfo files.

  I have now checked in a patch to fix this disrepancy, so that the DWARF
parsing code in the binutils/ directory now also looks for build-id based
files.

Cheers
  Nick
