I tried this, but after trying to remove the .text section, so that I can
add it later, objcopy removed 4 sections from the binary. Here is what I
tried:

daniel@...l:~/gpu_dev/gcn_isa_sample$ objcopy -I elf32-little
--remove-section .text sample_42.bin sample_copy.bin
BFD: BFD (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.22 assertion fail ../../bfd/elf.c:1656
BFD: sample_42.bin: warning: Empty loadable segment detected, is this
intentional ?

daniel@...l:~/gpu_dev/gcn_isa_sample$ readelf -S sample_42.bin

Is this because I'm passing a wrong ELF format to objcopy? I tried every
possible elf format and I always get the same error message.

Regars,
