This seems not to be a bug in objcopy:

--- Comment #2 from Andreas Schwab <schwab at linux-m68k.org> ---
This is not a bug.  The sections to be copied cover an address range from
00120000 to FFFDC9D0, and the binary format cannot represent holes.

  3 .data         00000510  fffdc4c0  fffdc4c0  0000e4c0  2**5
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, DATA
  4 .got          00000004  00120000  00120000  00001000  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
