问题
I would like to rename symbols inside object files (.o) with something that would be the Mac equivalent of binutils' objcopy --redefine-syms tool.
I found no arm-apple-darwin10-objcopy. I tried the MacPorts' arm-elf-binutils port and also tried to play a bit with otool and segedit without much success.
Any ideas please?

Sounds like a job for Agner Fog's objconv.
From the announcement:
I have now finished making full support for Mach-O files in the object file converter mentioned in my previous posts. You may use it as a replacement for the missing objcopy utility.
Objconv can be used for the following purposes:
Convert object files and library/archive files between Mach-O, ELF, COFF and OMF formats for all x86 and x86-64 platforms.Change symbol names in object files, make symbols weak, add alias names to symbols.
Build, modify and convert static library files (*.a, *.lib) across platforms (Mac, Linux, BSD, Windows)
Dump object files and executable files
Disassemble object files and executable files. Very good disassembler.

I know I'm resurrecting this post from the dead, but...
I have a sudden need to do this as well, and discovering that objcopy doesn't work on OSX was a bit of a shock. But I think it's possible to use ld to achieve the same effect:
ld -r input.o -o output.o -alias oldsymbol newsymbol -unexported_symbol oldsymbol
This really just creates an alias for the symbol under a new name and hides the old one.
I haven't had a chance to do much testing yet, but looking at the output file with nm shows it seems to be doing the right thing.

objconv does not currently work for ARM, so this option is not available for iPhone. It should be no problem to use objconv from elf to mach-o for mac osx x86/x64 though. Let me know if you found a solution for ARM
