OBJDUMP_FLAGS in i386 kernel

I am trying to build a v2.0.0 kernel (first ever kernel build) and I have
successfully progressed as far as the Makefile in arch/i386, whereupon we
find OBJDUMP_FLAGS=-k -q. The problem is that the version of binutils I
am running (2.8.0) does not recognise these flags. So which version ought I
to have, as I notice that these flags are the same in the v2.1.26 kernel
which I was playing with too!

In fact, what do these flags indicate?
