            Bug ID: 29665
           Summary: objcopy should display the original name, not a
                    temporary name
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.39
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: doko at debian dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

forwarded from https://bugs.debian.org/960686

That "gibberish" name is an internal name used in objcopy and it makes
more sense to fix this bug at its roots (which would be in objcopy
itself), reassigning accordingly.

Reproducer:

"""
$ cd /tmp
$ cp /bin/ls .
$ objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink /bin/test ls
objcopy: stnJQXz3: debuglink section already exists
"""

The "stnJQXz3" name is indeed not very helpful and should have said "ls"
(or "/tmp/ls" in this case)
