The default seems to keep previous value, but
as ".gnu_debuglink" is a long name at list in that
case should be the default of objcopy to use it.

I noticed during my tests:
the build version have long names (.debug_aranges, .debug_loc ..)
the stripped version usually not (.text, .rdata, .reloc ..)
But, there is a field somewhere in the exe format
about long-section-names ? If so,  is it incorrectly filled by some
other utility ?

I found no info in the coff format, nor looking in the objcopy source.
