binutils' objcopy also supports COFF

No particular, except that I'm considering having a go at starting to 
implement COFF codepaths for this as well (mainly for a strip tool, and 
for the --only-keep-debug and --add-gnu-debuglink actions). I might (no 
guarantees though) start working on that within a few months, unless 
there's already someone else working on that. (I remember seeing some 
other discussions about that but nothing that ever made it into patches.)
