            Bug ID: 32211
           Summary: 2.41 and later doesn't seem to honor the `-z` flag
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.41
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: danmcd at mnx dot io
  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 15717
  --> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=15717&action=edit
Test data and script to confirm/deny that -z works.

I will attach a .tgz that has sample data, and a simple shell script to
confirm/deny that `objdump` will or will not produce output for an all-zeros
object.

Example run of this script is included here:

smartos-build-2023(~/objdump-debug-data)[1]% ./testscript.sh

This is on SmartOS (an illumos distribution), but I've tested pre-2.41 version
on Linux with passing, and I hope to have 2.42 on actual Linux results shortly.
