objcopy with EFI x86_64 support

[Peter Wiehe]

Hello binutils-list-readers,

I'm completely new to building binutils from source.

I'm on a GNU/Linux system (xubuntu 18.04 LTS 64bit).

My goal is to build a version of objcopy that can support EFI x86_64.

I've read that binutils 2.24 have that support. But I can build none of 
the 2 snapshots for 2.24 (make fails with errors but I guess for old 
versions the exact error messages are not interesting anymore).

And after building building 2.30.0 (with enabling all targets) I found 
out that it has NOT efi x86-64 support.

Any suggestion how I can get a objcopy with that support? Should I try 
git to get an alternative 2.24 version? I'm not a git expert... Or 
should I envoke "./configure" with that target?

Kind regards

Peter Wiehe
