it seems that objcopy is considering the

    --long-section-names {enable|disable|keep}

as disable (or keeping an incorrect disable)

using in sequence on a stripped ltree.dll

$ objcopy -v  --add-gnu-debuglink="ltree.dll.dbg" ltree.dll
$ objcopy -v --long-section-names enable 
--add-gnu-debuglink="ltree.dll.dbg" ltree.dll

$ objdump -h ltree.dll

ltree.dll:     file format pei-i386

Sections:

I consider this a bug of objcopy:
   "--add-gnu-debuglink" should imply "--long-section-names enable"
