--- Comment #12 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> --- 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 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
