Subject: objtool: Improve error message for bad file argument
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=385d11b152c4eb638eeb769edcb3249533bb9a00;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

objtool: Improve error message for bad file argument

If a nonexistent file is supplied to objtool, it complains with a
non-helpful error:

  open: No such file or directory

Improve it to:

  objtool: Can't open 'foo': No such file or directory
