This change breaks the Xen build using objcopy. I have a very simple
test case, pick the file from:

https://people.freebsd.org/~royger/buildid.ihex

Then do:

$ objcopy -I ihex -O binary buildid.ihex buildid.o
objcopy: elf_nextscn failed: Invalid argument

This used to work before this change, and now fails.

Thanks, Roger.
