Hi H. J.

I don't see why objcopy should stop when there are no sections to be
copied. After all, the resulting output file is still valid ELF
file.

I agree that the tools should not fail. But they also should tell the user that nothing has happened. Otherwise the user will never know that their objcopy/strip command was pointless and they may then consider it a bug that nothing has changed.

Cheers
  Nick
