[Elftoolchain-developers] elfcopy vs objcopy

[Ed M. <em...@fr...>]

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 for other ELF Tool Chain tools though, and anyone
installing both ELF Tool Chain and other compatible tools is going to
need to set PATH appropriately or explicitly choose their tools
somehow. Given this, is there a reason I shouldn't install it as
objcopy?
