There's a feature request, PR 2678, for this.  I worked up an initial patch
but nobody was interested in reviewing it.  It seems to be of somewhat
marginal usefulness without an accompanying tool to extract the flags
from the object file, and the libbfd documentation is hellishly outdated.
So I stopped.

You might follow 2678; if anybody works further on it, there should probably
be traffic under that PR.
