Hi Jianping,

Not off the top of my head no.  But 2.15.94 is now an old release. 
Version 2.16 of the binutils has been released, so I would definitely 
recommend downloading those sources and building yourself a new copy of 
objcopy.  If it still crashes then please could you supply us with a 
*small* test case that reproduces the problem.

Cheers
   Nick
