PR binutils/6483
* 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.
