excellent.
Thank you guys for the suggestions.
I will use both -show-mc-encoding and objdump.

btw, the following is a regression:

char foo[] __attribute__((section("foo"))) = "";

llc: /w/llvm/lib/MC/MCELFStreamer.cpp:62: virtual void
llvm::MCELFStreamer::EmitLabel(llvm::MCSymbol *): Assertion
`Symbol->isUndefined() && "Cannot define a symbol twice!"' failed.

which is similar, but probably not the same as Bug 19778.
was planning to file a bug report...
can I link reviews.llvm and bugzilla accounts?
