Title:
  objdump --only-keep-debug cause the resulting binary to be statically
  linked on i386 arch

Status in “binutils” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The attachment is extracted from one of lintian's self tests.

  I ran the following experiment on a Natty (i386) installation:

  $ gcc -o basic basic.c
  $ objcopy --only-keep-debug basic basic.copy
  $ file basic basic.copy
  basic:      ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped
  basic.copy: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.15, not stripped

  This does not happen on amd64 arch.
  Also I tried in on a Debian (i386) chroot, and this problem does not happen.
