The 'objcopy' that comes with the 'binutils' package works fine when invoked directly from a DOS prompt (outside of a Cygwin shell). Of course, that one comes with Cygwin and links to cygwin1.dll. If you don't want to have to install Cygwin or manage a local copy of cygwin1.dll on your target systems, then this isn't an option for you. However, if you're using a custom built version of 'objcopy' that doesn't use cygwin1.dll, then the question is really off-topic for this list. You'll need to debug the problem yourself.
