+## This test checks that `--needed-libs` output is after that of
+## `--dynamic-table` since it is the printing order in code. One common reason
+## the output could become out-of-order is when more than one stream are
+## printing at the same time.
+## https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42140

+## TODO: Add a --all-debug option for llvm-readobj to turn on literally every
+##       option, then copy the representative output for each information chunk
+##       (usually the header text) of `llvm-readobj --all-debug` and paste
+##       it into the CHECK line here. This is supposedly easier than tracking
+##       the same information in the code.
