Nick,

I wonder if LD ought to be able to support binary output at all? 

I feel that it should, since growth of embedded and IoT type devices is huge
and binary output is needed for most firmware generation. Cross-compilation for
bintools can sometimes be a chore, so being able to generate firmware with only
the GCC/LD may be an asset. 

Using objcopy seems like a bit of a "hack", but it is still better than leaving
the problem unfixed. If I had time or skill, I'd submit fixes for all
platforms, unfortunately I do not.

Whichever way the fix is done, thanks for spending time on it.

-Michael
