Oh. That's nice.

I decided to write this patch when I saw that `gnu-new-abi' wasn't
supported (at least with this string name), but it was displayed in 
the usage output of current objdump (other supported demangling 
styles wasn't listed, also). So, I had the choice of changing the 
usage text in objdump.c and nm.c or submit this trivial patch.

Since there is a better and more elegant solution in the work, it's
ok. BTW, I sent another patch before a couple of days which fixes
the short option for demangling style (i.e. -C) in objdump/nm:
