--- Comment #1 from Sterling Augustine <saugustine at google dot com> --- If a cfi directive doesn't have an instruction following, then objdump crashes. I believe this is valid assembly--at least it doesn't seem to bother the other unwinding formats. I would favor making the dumper robust to a situation where an fre has zero relevant length. Or if it isn't, gas should error out.
