I get an error/warning from objcopy from the i960 version of the 
Intel-modified gnu utilities and cannot determine if this is 
really a problem. The code loads and runs fine. The command and the 
error/warning are shown below:

objcopy -q -l foo.o
bfd assertion fail b.out.c:575
bfd assertion fail b.out.c:575
< repeats many times>

I would assume that "bfd" means binary file desriptor and
that b.out.c:575 is the file name and line number at which this 
assertion was made. Now, what does it mean? Any comments?

Thanks,
Mike
