    sys-boot/gnu-efi: force use of binutils objcopy
    
    lld-objcopy does not support PE executables.

    sys-boot/gnu-efi: Fix compile when LLVM `binutils-plugin` USE flag is set
    
    LLVM's objcopy is being used instead of the GNU version when `binutils-plugin`
    is enabled. I tried to avoid this by explictly using the GNU path for objcopy
    when our initial test fails.
    
    Let me know if this isn't acceptable, or if you need me to open a new bug
    for this. It was basically the same repo as the linked issue, but the fix did
    not work, as `which objcopy` returns '/usr/lib/llvm/18/bin/objcopy' instead of
    '/usr/bin/objcopy'.
