When building the ARM kernel with CONFIG_EFI=y, the following build error may occur when using a less recent version of binutils (2.23 or older): STUBCPY drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-sort.stub.o 00000000 R_ARM_ABS32 sort 00000004 R_ARM_ABS32 __ksymtab_strings drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-sort.stub.o: absolute symbol references not allowed in the EFI stub (and when building with debug symbols, the list above is much longer, and contains all the internal references between the .debug sections and the actual code) This issue is caused by the fact that objcopy v2.23 or earlier does not support wildcards in its -R and -j options, which means the following line from the Makefile: STUBCOPY_FLAGS-y := -R .debug* -R *ksymtab* -R *kcrctab* fails to take effect, leaving harmless absolute relocations in the binary that are indistinguishable from relocations that may cause crashes at runtime due to the fact that these relocations are resolved at link time using the virtual address of the kernel, which is always different from the address at which the EFI firmware loads and invokes the stub. So, as a workaround, disable debug symbols explicitly when building the stub for ARM, and strip the ksymtab and kcrctab symbols for the only exported symbol we currently reuse in the stub, which is 'sort'.
