These are really jarring names to anyone who is accustomed to po files
as Gettext Portable Object files.  Please change them.  zpo maybe.
You also have a lot of identifiers starting with po, those also would
be better as zpo or something else.

Without an object_p function BFD can't read your object files!  So
this is a write-only format.  You can't inspect symbols, you can't
objcopy or objdump the files.  How do you test anything?
