+Subject: [PATCH] FIPS checker builder: Use $OBJCOPY and report failures
+
+The script that inserts the FIPS integrity digest into leancrypto-fips
+runs the build machine's objcopy. When cross compiling, that objcopy
+usually cannot read the target ELF file. The failure is not noticed
+either: "exit $?" after echo returns the status of echo, so the
+script exits 0, and the library is installed with the placeholder
+digest. At runtime the integrity test then fails and all algorithms
+are put into the error state:
+
+  ERROR: objcopy command failed: 0
+
+Use $OBJCOPY when set, as cross build environments export the objcopy
+for the target there, and keep the exit status so errors fail the
+build.
+
+llvm-objcopy fails when a section to dump does not exist, and some C
+libraries (e.g. musl on RISC-V) provide no .init section. Extract the
+init section separately and use an empty file when it is not present,
+which matches the empty range the linker script provides for it.
