[PATCH v12 09/25] bfd: add support for copying Object Attributes v2
Matthieu Longo

Fri Jan 16 18:59:29 GMT 2026
The OAv2 section's content of the source file is copied to the
destination object file without any alteration of the attributes
or subsections (no deduplication nor sorting of subsections or
object attributes is performed).
For now, only ELF format is supported.
