When I try to use objcopy to convert PE-exe's to ELF-executables i get the
following warnings:
objcopy -O elf32-i386 -S -g -x -X base64.exe base64.elf
BFD: base64.elf: warning: allocated section `.text' not in segment
BFD: base64.elf: warning: allocated section `.data' not in segment
BFD: base64.elf: warning: allocated section `.rdata' not in segment
BFD: base64.elf: warning: allocated section `.idata' not in segment
The resulting ELF (as the warnings imply) doesn't contain a single entry in
the program header. I tested 10 other PE-EXEs with the same outcome. This
happens with objcopy under Cygwin, version 2.18.50.20080523 and version
2.18.50.20080625.
A year or so ago I had a version installed which would convert PE-EXE to valid
ELF files. But unfortunately I can't remember which version that was.
