I don't want to start a protracted discussion about binutils here, but it's a bug in my opinion. objcopy is supposed to understand the optional role of build ID and strip it if it cannot be presented in the output as a build ID, rather than convert is to piece of binary data followed by megabytes of "emptiness". > However this is irrelevant since we no longer include that in the plain > binary files.
