I can workaround this using -O elf64-x86-64, i.e. "objcopy text.txt text.o -B i386:x86-64 -I binary -O elf64-x86-64". If I drop the -B, I get an EM_NONE machine type, and if I drop the -O, I get a text file. Not sure how you want to handle this!


Well for command line compatibility we're going to have to accept "-O elf64-x86-64" which we don't do right now. In fact for the specific use case that I'm trying to solve here I'll need that to work (whoops). I'm fine copying the behavior of GNU objcopy here but I might add it in two more changes. One change will add extra output formats (like elf64-x86-64) and the other will make the default output type the corresponding input type. Those two changes together with this change should produce command line compatibility. Sound good?
