+ directory from the input archive then any relative paths in the library
+ should be adjusted to the new location. But if any transformation
+ options are active (eg strip, rename, add, etc) then the implication is
+ that these should be applied to the files pointed to by the archive.
+ But since objcopy is not destructive, this means that new files must be
+ created, and there is no guidance for the names of the new files. (Plus
+ this conflicts with one of the goals of thin libraries - only taking up
+ a minimal amount of space in the file system).
+
+ So for now we fail if an attempt is made to copy such libraries. */
