[Bug binutils/10321] New: objcopy silently exits with empty input files

seems to be a regression between 2.17 and 2.18

with binutils 2.17:
$ rm -f f
$ touch f
$ objcopy f
objcopy: error: the input file 'f' is empty

but with 2.18+ (including today's CVS HEAD), there is no output at all, just an
exit code of 1
