Recently, I've run into this "cannot execute binary file" problem. I
have not run this program for 3-4 months but before that it would run
fine in Cygwin. It was compiled and linked for Cygwin even though
"file" command says linux.
[rom$:553] m68k-elf-objcopy -O binary umon_rom.elf umon_rom.bin
/bin/m68k-elf-objcopy: /bin/m68k-elf-objcopy: cannot execute binary file
[rom$:554] file /bin/m68k-elf-objcopy
/bin/m68k-elf-objcopy: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, stripped
No. No way on earth did it ever run that file. If the file command
says linux, then it IS linux. You must have overwritten your cygwin
version at some stage with a linux version.

I suspect that there is a m68k-elf-objcopy and a m68k-elf-objcopy.exe file there. The m68k-elf-objcopy (without the .exe extension) should be deleted.
