Running objcopy on tmppiggy.gz to make a elf32-i386 piggy.o
before linking it -r seems TRT.

Otherwise (but not TRT IMHO), it seems it would be sufficient to
add bfd_target_binary_flavour to object format flavours (for
some reason it's not listed as a flavour) and check for it in
ldlang.c as an exception to cannot-link--r.
