New build, gobjcopy failure, any clues?

[David Chase]

Well, it's not a concurrency bug, and my objcopy is 2.19 but otherwise provides identical info,
and the failure recurs by hand:

gobjcopy --only-keep-debug libjvm.so /tmp/libjvm.debuginfo
gobjcopy:libjvm.so: File format not recognized

libjvm.so:      ELF 64-bit MSB dynamic lib SPARCV9 Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped

What sort of "file" is your libjvm.so?
