[lug] objdump, nm, and const

I'm trying to verify what g++ is telling me, that a library I have 
contains a function which wants a pointer argument, and that the 
argument is not marked as const. It is the format argument of a 
printf-like function in ncurses, and is declared in some places "const 
char*", while in others just "char*". Is it possible with objdump or nm 
to verify the argument as being marked const or not being marked const? 
It is my belief that g++ is correct, and that the lib is not compiled 
with const in the function char* argument.
