That testsuite finds some issues that I need to investigate in detail,
but passes when the tests are linked with Solaris ld.

One issue that is hampering me here and in other cases is that objdump
and readelf --syms display the symbol tables in table order.  That makes
it hard to deal with changes in the output that are merely due to
ordering.  nm is different here: it sorts by symbol name by default, but
has a --no-sort option to inhibit the sorting.

It would be very useful to have something analogous for objdump/readelf:
a --sort option that allows sorting by symbol name.  That's both often
more useful for human consumption and would help in cases like this,
and, I believe, in some of the ld-elfvers tests.
