None of the utilities in /binutils seems to use bfd_merge_private_bfd_data
as ld does, this keeps the ELF header flags long enough unset to make the
NEWABI_P test in _bfd_mips_elf_fake_sections fail.

This probably means the copied object fails on IRIX6.

It fails for mips-linux, too, but not for mips-elf.

It's too late to stop the show now in any case. :-)
