* objdump.c (dump_bfd): If the -g option found no STABS or IEEE debug information to display, try dumping DWARF information instead. * rddbg.c (read_debugging_info): Add a parameter to suppress the display of a warning message when no debug information is found. * budbg.h (read_debugging_info): Update prototype. * objcopy.c (copy_object): Continue to allow read_debugging_info to produce warning messages. * doc/binutils.texi (--debugging): Document new behaviour of the -g/--debugging option.
