No, the .o file seems to be corrupt from the start.  Here is what my
command line and output look like.  Note that the message about unknown
architecture is *normal*, and I get it when creating ARM ELF object
files:

$ objcopy -v -I binary -O coff-go32 input.bin output.o

$ nm output.o

So I maintain that there is something broken within objcopy.

Any ideas as to what it is that could be broken, or any possible
workarounds?  I'd like to circumvent the problem, if at all possible,
before I start hacking at the objcopy source. =/
