Hi Ed,
elfcopy was among the first tools we implemented in the toolchain and we
thought we could name it elfcopy since we planned to only support ELF
format.
Then later when we implemented other tools we figured the "elf" prefix seems
to be inappropriate, but we were too lazy to change it back.

I have a review open for FreeBSD[1] to install elfcopy as objcopy, but
before going ahead I'd like to understand the original motivation for
giving the tool a distinct name in ELF Tool Chain. We support formats
other than just ELF, although the list is smaller than GNU objcopy's.
This is also true
