objcopy issues on Solaris

Hello, we are facing problems with gobjcopy on Solaris 10 x86_64.
When processing libjvm.so (product build) with FDS and separated debug-infos we are getting :

objcopy: libjvm.debuginfo: Not enough room for program headers, try linking with -N

It looks like we are running into this (or a similar) problems :

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7165598

As recommended in those bugs :

  x86
  https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8034005

  (and similar Sparc issue)
  https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8033602

We are using objcopy from binutils-2.28 (downloaded and built ourselves from standard binutils gnu.org page)
and still get the mentioned error.

In the OpenJDK version checks, 2.21 seems to be needed minimum,
the comments in version check says "objcopy prior to 2.21.1 on solaris is broken and is not usable.".

Could you tell us the exact version of  objcopy / gobjcopy  you are using in 8 and 9 on Solaris  to
process the debuginfo ?
And where do you get the gobjcopy from?

Thanks, Richard and Matthias
