Official build platform is Solaris 10 and we use gobjcopy version "GNU 
objcopy 2.15".

Your 2.19 version may not have the right support built-in. What 
supported platforms does it report?

2.15 reports:

gobjcopy: supported targets: elf32-sparc elf64-sparc a.out-sunos-big 
elf64-little elf64-big elf32-little elf32-big srec symbolsrec tekhex 
binary ihex
