Method of compiling boot0

I was browsing over the boot0 makefiles and source when I was playing with
some boot sector code of mine and I was wondering why the designers chose
to use objcopy to output a binary file instead of just using the --oformat
option when it's run over the linker.

I'm guessing it's just 6 of one and half dozen of the other but was just
curious incase there was actually some difference.
