Hi Nick and Tristan,

this works. But it is rather an acceptable workaround.
Moreover, I need to use the same trick for different platforms and some 
platforms' assemblers use '%' instead of '@' (but that's managable).

I think that adding a flag to objcopy that would allow one to set file 
header flags will be a little bit better.

Anyway, thanks a lot!

Jakub
