Log:
  binutils: disconnect objdump from the build
  
  The in-tree binutils is old and will not be updated.  It does not support
  all archs supported by FreeBSD, and for the archs it does support not all
  CPU features are supported.
  
  Other tools have migrated to copyfree alternatives.  Although llvm-objdump
  is nearly a drop-in replacement for GNU objdump it is missing a few options
  and has some differences in output format.  For now just remove GNU objdump;
  ports and developers can use a contemporary, maintained version from ports
  or packages.  We can revisit installing llvm-objdump as objdump in the
  future.
