--- Comment #4 from Stas Sergeev <stsp at users dot sourceforge.net> --- (In reply to Nick Clifton from comment #3) > Well for example, objcopy has no way of determining whether the input binary > contains code, data, or something else. So it is not at all obvious which > section(s) should be used to contain the input. AFAIK you can use --rename-section if you don't want to have the default .data. man page even has an example of how to do this. > Plus there is nothing to > indicate if there are any alignment requirements for the input, I think --set-section-alignment can be used to set an alignment of a desired section. Sure thing with incbin you can do lots of fancy tricks, define more symbols than objcopy would, and so on. But objcopy seems to cover most of the basic needs. > But my feeling is that fixing it is a very low priority, at least at the > moment. It breaks under cygwin (not only under cygwin), where PE is a default. So while a very minor problem under linux, its quite a problem under windows. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
