problems with elf2flash --boot

elf2flash is not inserting the boot record as it should. Is there a way to get the source for this to see why it is failing? --verbose only provided a start and stop time stamp which isn't very useful.

elf2flash is a step in "make_flash_image_script.sh" which is part of the advanced boot copier:

This is the step that is failing:

elf2flash --verbose --base=$flash_base --end=$flash_end --boot=$fake_copier --input=$tmp0_outfile_elf --output=$tmp1_outfile_srec --reset=$flash_base ;

It is behaving as if didn't pass the argument --boot=$fake_copier

This same elf2flash and make_flash_image_script.sh is used on many of our projects and I would like to understand why its failing.
