I am using objcopy to copy binary data directly into an object file for linking
into my executable. I do this under Linux without issue using the following
command.
objcopy --input-target=binary --binary-architecture=i386
--output-target=elf32-i386 <binary_input_file> <output_object_file>
Under OSX 10.5 I changed the output target to mach-o-le and I get the following
assertion:
BFD: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.19 assertion fail mach-o.c:166
I am using an Intel based mac and the fink distro of binutils so just to be sure
I downloaded the 2.19.1 source and compiled. This issue occurs at the same
location.
I had look at the source but due to lack of familiarity with the code-base was
reluctant to do a change. Anyhow I gave it a go and changed the code to return
TRUE instead of asserting (not sure of the correct logic) but when I ran
"objdump -t" on the output target it displayed "File format not recognized."
