Subject: problem with objcopy

Hi,
I am trying to copy an object file from an a.out-i386 BFD format to
coff-go32 format using objcopy version 2.2 without success.

My command is the following:
E:\DEVELOP\CONTRIB\DVX\TESTS> objcopy -O coff-go32 -v xtext.o test.o

The error message I get is the following:
e:/develop/bin/objcopy.exe version 2.2
copy from xtext.o(a.out-i386) to test.o(coff-go32)
Segmentation violation in pointer 0x0000005c at d8:92d9
...

do I missed something ?

Second Problem
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the first problem happend, I tryed to compile binutils on my
Dec station in order that my objcopy can recognize a.out-i386 BFD format.
What I did is configuring binutils with the following command:
./configure --host=mips-dec-ultrix --target=i386-msdos-go32 --with-targets=all

Once compiled "objdump --info" give me the same information as I had before
which means that it cannot recognize a.out-i386 BFD format.


Does anyone have an idea about this kind of problem ?
thanks a lot in advance.
