Re: [RFA] Make objcopy handle core files.
Hi Michael,
I notice that objcopy on corefiles creates section headers where none
existed before. Perhaps that can be viewed as a feature rather than
a bug, but it's a little disconcerting to find that
objcopy core1 core2
results in files that aren't even the same size. I'm not too worried,
but a small note in binutils.texi would be good.
