objdump -t/usr/bin/sort command does not display any symbols

If I try the objdump -t/usr/bin/sort command, it says no symbols. But it seems to work for my program. What is the reason for this?

Solution

The symbol for /usr/bin/sort has been removed, e.g. using a strip program – for most executables, no symbol table is needed (or only for debugging). Here is more information.
