For some reason, r281232, which added --start-address and --stop-address support to llvm-objdump caused it to affect the symbol table and relocation printing. This behaviour is untested, and not mentioned in the review or commit message. In GNU objdump the --start-address/--stop-address switches only affect disassembly, as far as I can tell. I don't see a good reason for this difference in behaviour, and it could be somewhat confusing to some people.
