Hi Nick, 

thanks for investigating.

In this case, it would be good if objdump would give a warning that this option
is not supported (or abort), as the user might get unexpected results when
running e.g. 

    objdump -x -C gnu-v3 xxx.dll | grep <myclass::myfunc> 

If nothing is output, it is assumed that the named method is not imported or
exported. Instead, it is simply not de-mangled.
