Using objcopy to replace elftoaout

[Jim Gifford]

I'm trying to get rid of using the elftoaout tool in my silo and linux 
kernel builds, since the tool is not being maintained.

The problem I have is .rodata gives me errors in the conversion.
BFD: arch/sparc64/boot/vmlinux.aout: can not represent section `.rodata' 
in a.out object file format

In my research I found this
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-bugs/2001/04/04/0006.html

Which basically said the elftoaout converts symbols to .text.
"elftoaout(1) folds .rodata and .data section into text"

How can I accomplish this using objcopy?
