GNU objcopy documents that -B is only useful with architecture-less input (i.e. "binary" or "ihex"). After D67144, -O defaults to -I, and -B is essentially a NOP. * If -O is binary/ihex, GNU objcopy ignores -B. * If -O is elf*, -B provides the e_machine field in GNU objcopy. So to convert a blob to an ELF, `-I binary -B i386:x86-64 -O elf64-x86-64` has to be specified. `-I binary -B i386:x86-64 -O elf64-x86-64` creates an ELF with its e_machine field set to EM_NONE in GNU objcopy, but a regular x86_64 ELF in elftoolchain elfcopy. Follow the elftoolchain approach (ignoring -B) to simplify code. Users that expect their command line portable should specify -B.
