Eh what?  The POSIX standard options should not be used on BSD????
Give me a break please.  Here's a quote from the spec:

-f
    [XSI] Produce full output. Write redundant symbols ( .text, .data,
    and .bss), normally suppressed.
-P
    Write information in a portable output format, as specified in the
    STDOUT section.

Now go and whack the BSD tool maintainers with a clue-by-four.

That's f*cked up.  od is a standard tool, hexdump is not.
