--- Comment #3 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> ---
Hi Masman1996,

  Thanks for your interest in the binutils, and for reporting this problem.

  The leaks are coming from the elf_i386_get_synthetic_symtab function,
  but there is no real bug here.  The allocated memory stays in use for
  the duration of the objdump run, so there is no benefit to adding code
  to release it early.  Instead the memory is returned when objdump
  finishes, which is fine.

Cheers
  Nick
