The only objdump program that is able to display line numbers and/or
code lines when the sources have been compiled with -gcoff is the one
from bnu217b.  Starting with bnu219b and later are no longer able to
display neither line numbers nor code lines.  Only assembler code is
displayed.  Of course, for those portions of the binary that contains
library code like printf or crt1.S all versions display line numbers and
code lines.
