Hi Dan,

  Sorry, you are right, I was wrong.  And now that I understand the problem I
have been able to track down the exact commit that causes this issue:
0a3137ce4c4b 
Which states:

  There is some inconsistency between the behaviour of objdump -D 
  and objdump -s, both supposedly operating on all sections by 
  default.  objdump -s ignores bss sections, while objdump -D 
  dissassembles the zeros.  Fix this by making objdump -D ignore 
  bss sections too.

I do not know if it will help, but you can work around the problem by using the
-j option to explicitly request the disassembly of the sections that matter,
eg:

  objdump -Dz 23.4-strap-libv8_base.a -j .bss.v8dbg_SmiTag -j
.data.v8dbg_SmiTagMask 

Cheers
  Nick
