After finding a match, scan backward to the first matching relocation, then scan forward for a matching relocation with non-absolute symbol. On Fedora 27 x86-64, time for "objdump -d" on libxul.so from RHEL 7.4 x86-64 went from 134.46user 0.12system 2:15.03elapsed to 8.49user 0.14system 0:08.64elapsed PR binutils/22911 * objdump.c (is_significant_symbol_name): Return TRUE for all .plt* sections. (find_symbol_for_address): Replace linear search with binary search on dynamic relocations.
