The objcopy test exists to detect certain breakage in objcopy.  I'm not
sure that testing it in the condition that it only copies .text is
sufficient to find the original problem.  Surely, that will need some
software archeology.  The test comes from GRUB 1.  Anyway, I'll rather
test objcopy under conditions close to those used in the build process.

And what's the build ID for?  Why do we want to keep it?
