I can confirm that the --strip-unneeded option is still missing from the
objcopy manpage in binutils 2.27-8ubuntu2 on Ubuntu Yakkety.

Title:
Trivial bug in man documentation: forgotten --strip-unneeded option in
objcopy SYNOPSIS
Status in binutils package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In the man page of "objcopy" the "--strip-unneeded" option:
- is described in OPTIONS section;
- but is forgotten in SYNOPSIS section (don't confuse with
"--strip-unneeded-symbol=" and "--strip-unneeded-symbols=", which aren't
forgotten).
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release: 16.04
$ apt-cache policy binutils
binutils:
Installed: 2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04.3
Candidate: 2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04.3
Version table:

I expected SYNOPSIS and OPTIONS sections of the man page of "objcopy"
to be consistent.
Option "--strip-unneeded" present in OPTIONS section, is absent in
SYNOPSIS section.
