Yes. This is a bug in some versions of objdump. On my current
system this bug does not occur. It can be worked around by putting
in a dummy symbol table, but this increases the size by a few bytes.
Possibly a problem in an embedded situation.

No.
And my version objdump which does not show the problem is:
eric at maxwell:~$ objdump --version
GNU objdump 2.13.90.0.10 20021010 Debian GNU/Linux
