Subject: objcopy fails silently with an empty input file
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

objcopy silently fails when the input file is empty. I'd rather it
didn't fail -- this used to work in previous versions -- but it
definitely shouldn't fail silently.

Cheers,
Shaun
