glibc uses "objcopy", but seems to need "TARGET-objcopy" [core-updates]

That looks like the earlier issue we had with "objdump" vs. "TARGET-objdump" ...

Maybe a similar fix is possible?

Greetings,

Hi,

Maxime Devos <maximedevos@telenet.be> skribis:

Yes, indeed. The attached patch does that and fixes the issue.

I’ll inline the patch in the ‘patches’ field and commit that later on so

as to group world rebuilds a bit. I’ll send it to libc-alpha too.

(Initially I tried patching just

sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/le/configure.ac but that’s not sufficient.)

Thanks,

Ludo’.
