10.4 uses elftoolchain objcopy as well?

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.May 24 2018, 8:02 PM

10.4 does not use elf toolchain for objcopy. OTOH, I personally kind of consider base/* to not yet be production ready and probably a 12.0+ thing. We could try to make objcopy conditional, but we would need some way to know the target OS version (rather than the host version). Perhaps I could make that work by grabbing the OS version from a file in CROSS_SYSROOT (usr/include/sys/param.h or the like)

Replaced by D15813 which does handle objcopy even on 10.4 though we might G/C that conditional at some point in the future.
