Probably a daft question, sorry, but do you mean the disassembly of
the linked .elf file rather than the .o file?  If so, then I agree
objcopy sounds like the most likely culprit.

Out of interest, do you get the same weirdness if you drop the:

-R .stack from here?  (I realise that might not give a viable executable.
It'd just be interesting to know whether the same weirdness was visible.)

Have you tried using the linker script to discard the sections you don't
need, e.g. via DISCARD?

Thanks,
