    1 Did we want to create a patch for Binutils 2.17 or just migrate to Binutils 2.17a?
     1Reviewed on hrev 51986 x86 - (gcc 2.95.3_2017-07-20, objdump 2013-04-21). We can close this ticket.

     3Easier for FOSS/Haiku devs to open a another terminal, setarch x86, and use the objdump 2.26.1 version.

     5NOTE: The reporter mentioned: "Update to newer binutils recommended." 10 years ago in which binutils 2.26.1 now available on Haiku. Haiku's binutils 2.17_gcc2 disassembler remains inaccurate on 'several' x86 processor opcodes so best to just use the included binutils 2.26.1_gcc7 disassembler as it seems more stable and accurate at this time. I created a patch to fix the objdump 2.17 issue, yet felt we need to move on. This helps current devs/testers focus on recent binutils 2.29/2.30 testing and deployment.
