Re: Problem with arm-elf-objcopy

Hi Mark,

Which version ?  If it is not from the latest release of binutils
(2.14) or the CVS mainline sources then you should try building a new
version of objcopy.

This rings a bell, but not very loadly.  I seem to remember that
objcopy had problems with binaries produced in the eCos environment.
I think that the problem was fixed however, so if upgrading to the
latest sources does not help, then please could you send me a *small*
test binary that reproduces the problem and I will investigate
further.
