+
+Currently, this repository vendors a copy of llvm-objcopy for use during build process. There's no
+easy way to install _just_ objcopy without pulling the entirety of LLVM. Versions for mac and windows
+are pulled from https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/tag/llvmorg-18.1.8. Version for linux
+is build with
+
+```
+docker run -it --name llvm_build ubuntu:latest /bin/bash -c "
+    apt-get update && apt-get install -y git cmake ninja-build clang
+    git clone --depth 1 --branch release/18.x https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
+    mkdir llvm-project/build && cd llvm-project/build
+    cmake -G Ninja -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=clang -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=X86 -DLLVM_BUILD_STATIC=ON ../llvm
+    ninja llvm-objcopy
+"
+
+docker cp llvm_build:/llvm-project/build/bin/llvm-objcopy .
+docker rm llvm_build
+```
+
+From source build is used to make a static executable (`-DLLVM_BUILD_STATIC=ON`).
+
+All three binaries are available as a GH release in this repository.
