Insofar as the this command normaly succeeds, but fails with the vmlinux
linked with gold:

(good)
% objcopy -v -R .comment -S vmlinux arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin
copy from `vmlinux' [elf64-x86-64] to `arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin' [elf64-x86-64]

(bad)
% objcopy  -R .comment -S vmlinux arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin
BFD: arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin: warning: allocated section `.data..percpu' not in segment
objcopy:arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin[.text]: File truncated
objcopy:arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin: File truncated
