This looks like a minor bug in elfcopy, when used as objcopy,
specifically when in combination with the --input-target binary flag:

$ mkdir /tmp/foo
$ export TMPDIR=/tmp/foo
$ ls -l /tmp/foo/
$ /usr/bin/objcopy --input-target binary --output-target elf64-x86-64-freebsd  
--binary-architecture i386  cloudabi32_vdso.o bar.o
$ ls -l /tmp/foo
total 12
-rw-r--r--  1 dim  wheel  10198 2016-12-28 12:29:32 ecp.0xbNAi5i

E.g. for some reason this does not clean up the temporary file.
