Re: Introducing objcopy as a tool

When using a lang/gcc8 patched to use devel/binutils (because the base as
chokes on what gcc generates), base strip/objcopy may be unable to cope with
certain relocation types.

Now strip is easy because it is a tool, which can be redirected to use gstrip
from the same pkgsrc binutils the compiler uses for as and ld.

But objcopy is not a tool.

Is there a recipie for adding a new tool? Or is there a better way to cope?

No, there's no documented recipe.

https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/commits/trunk/mk/tools has some commits
that added tools in the past.

After you added your tool, run 'make show-all-tools' in any package
directory to check whether your tool looks similar to the others.
