Hi Søren,

Not quite sure what you mean here.  Are you trying to convert a binary 
file into an object file so that you can include it in a larger program 
?  (In which case it would probably be a data section that you are 
trying to create rather than a text segment).

If my guess is correct, then you may find it easier to use gas's .incbin 
pseudo-op instead of objcopy.  eg:

  % cat auto_on_icon.s
  .data
  .incbin auto_on_icon_bmp
  % arm-elf-as -o auto_on_icon.o auto_on_icon.s

Thanks for telling us about this problem.  Please could you open a bug 
report at:

  http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/

It will also really help if you can include a way for us to reproduce 
the problem - for example by uploading the auto_on_icon_bmp file, 
providing that it is not too big.

Cheers
