I see files like that for the same reason. But it is important to
stress that we are not the common case. We should not make objdump
harder to maintain because a handful of developers sometimes find it
useful to see more than one error printed on a file they just created.
And given the option of multiple errors with a good chance of only the
first one being relevant or a single error that is far easier to put a
breakpoint on I would always take the single error.
Cheers,
