This is a Solaris server and objcopy is part of Linux binutils, not
part of Solaris ( SVR4 UNIX based ).
I see here :
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html
GNU binutils Necessary in some circumstances, optional in others. See
the
host/target specific instructions for your platform for
the exact
requirements.
I check here : http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html
Where I see no mention of a need for binutils to compile "go".
We probably need to update that page.
However, having said that I do have :
$ /usr/local/bin/gobjcopy --version
GNU objcopy (GNU Binutils) 2.23.1
Copyright 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This program is free software; you may redistribute it under the terms of
the GNU General Public License version 3 or (at your option) any later version.

So it looks like I need a silly environment variable such as OBJCOPY which
points to the GNU binutils in /usr/local/bin. Which I otherwise do not use.
