We need an exception for armhf to unconditionally use objcopy's binary copy mode as there's apparently no EFI target for binutils on armhf. Instead, the crt0 composes the PE/COFF header directly, see https://github.com/ncroxon/gnu-efi/blob/master/gnuefi/crt0-efi-arm.S#L25-L149. The same is true for riscv64 (https://github.com/ncroxon/gnu-efi/blob/master/gnuefi/crt0-efi-riscv64.S). So for both, we need to unconditionally use objcopy in binary copy mode. This has and still works on Debian bookworm/stable with gnu-efi 3.0.15. For Debian trixie/testing and sid/unstable which are now on gnu-efi 3.0.18, we need to adapt and explicitly handle these cases. I'll post a patch soon. Kind regards, Christian P.S.: Note that gnu-efi has a new home on GitHub since 2024-03-22 according to https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnu-efi/ which is why I linked to the new one above as it supports line ranges to be linked to. -- Dr. Christian Storm Siemens AG, Technology, T CED OES-DE Otto-Hahn-Ring 6, 81739 Munich, Germany -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "EFI Boot Guard" group.
