Both nm and objdump are capable of displaying symbol tables.  The error 
message you're getting means you need to explicitly specify
"--target=BFDNAME" with BFDNAME matching the .obj file's format.

The formats we typically see are pe-i386 and pei-i386 for x86 object and 
image, and pe-x86-64 and pei-x86-64 for x86_64 object and image, 
respectively.

'nm --help' and 'objdump --help' show the supported targets.
