Dunno, really.  How many people are running old objdump, and do we want
to retard the rate at which the stragglers will upgrade?

I tend to be a late adopter ;) (for legit reasons, really - to catch
things like this) so I'd be OK carrying that patch locally.

Emitting that warning 1000000000000000000000000000 times per build is a
bit obnoxious.  Maybe find some way to restrict it to once per `make'?
