[Bug binutils/10413] New: Does -j sectname do anything useful?

[martyleisner at yahoo dot com]

I would expect something like:

objdump -h -j .data /bin/ls

would dump only the header info of the .data section...it seems to dump all 
sections

I have a patch (with respect to the recent snapshot of 2.19.51) which does
does:
address@hidden:/usr/local/obj/binutils-2.19.51/binutils$ ./objdump -h -j .data
/bin/ls 

/bin/ls:     file format elf64-x86-64

Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA               LMA               File off  Algn
 23 .data         000001d0  000000000061a2e0  000000000061a2e0  0001a2e0  2**5
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA

which I expect.

(I don't see how to add a patch yet to a bug)
