Hello, I'm using the latest version of the djgpp port of objcopy
(2.10).  I am trying to use it to convert a binary file to an object
file that can be linked into a djgpp program.  I see that objcopy, nm,
and ar all support the "coff-go32" format.  Issuing a:

$ objcopy -v -I binary -O coff-go32 input.bin output.o

works as expected.  As does:

$ ar scru library.a output.o

But I get an error when issuing:

$ nm library.a
$ c:/djgpp/bin/nm.exe output.o: File format not recognized

This happens with coff-go32-exe as well; a.out-i386 is the only format
I could get to work, but I don't think that is right.

I've used this method successfully with the GNU tools on the ARM7, and
I can't, for the life of me, figure out what is going awry.  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Matthew Conte.
