I don't fully follow your question, but will provide some background that I hope answers it - please let me know if it's still not clear. In stable/11 we have a WITH_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY option which installs ELF Tool Chain's elfcopy as objcopy; if not set the GNU binutils objcopy is installed (and elfcopy is still available under that name). In HEAD we always install ELF Tool Chain's elfcopy as objcopy, and the objcopy man page is actually elfcopy's.
