Oh, btw. Have you also tested all related binutils tools like strip,
addr2line and so on? The previous versions of binutils always had some
issues with them. For example, the strip tool sometimes striped too much
and something like that.

objcopy had an actual bug.. the functions that copy objects stripped everything when run with objcopy, but left the necessary symbols in when run as strip... I did change that...

Regarding addr2line: What issue are you referring to ? If you mean that it sometimes just wrote ??:0, that's not a specific bug of addr2line, but rather a bug in the (general) dwarf-2 code that writes one byte too much sometimes and thus messes up the debug hunks...
