"new" here refers to object-file, but I'm not sure I can write "during
new-object-file callbacks", can I?
I also added a label reference to make things clearer here:
> During the callback, ``current objfile'' will be set to the new object file

(I'm not sure why there is no `_' between 'current' and 'objfile', I
copied it from another place --- @value{GDBN} sets the ``current
objfile'' to the
corresponding objfile.)
