Re: Binutils objcopy bug (was Re: rebase segfault)

I forgot to mention, the --long-section-names enable option was never default, apparently. This would have to be fixed in cygport, I guess.

The default seems to keep previous value, but as ".gnu_debuglink" is a long name at list in that case should be the default of objcopy to use it.

I noticed during my tests:
the build version have long names (.debug_aranges, .debug_loc ..)
the stripped version usually not (.text, .rdata, .reloc ..)
But, there is a field somewhere in the exe format
about long-section-names ? If so,  is it incorrectly filled by some
other utility ?

I found no info in the coff format, nor looking in the objcopy source.
