+## 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 when more than one stream are printing
+## at the same time.

+## TODO: Add a --all-debug option for llvm-readobj to turn on literally every
+##       option, then copy the output of `llvm-readobj --all-debug` and paste
+##       it into the CHECK line here.
