Thanks. I am sorry that this change caused you so much hassle. At the time it
seemed rather obvious - bss sections do not contain anything (on disk) so
disassembling them could not produce any useful information. In hindsight of
course this assumption was wrong.

Hooray.
I was wondering however - exactly what is it that your testsuite is checking
for ?
Maybe there is way to conduct the test without relying on objdump to
disassemble .bss sections...

And thank you for taking the time to report this problem and then persist in
helping me to understand the real issue.
Cheers
