Perhaps since binutils is slot controlled, the emerge used the current approved one rather than 2.27 which is masked? In the environment.log file, lines 27+:

I then proceeded with:

It looks like the ebuild is overriding my selection of binutils 2.27. Remember, I successfully got paste this problem of "file not recognized: File format is ambiguous" using binutils 2.27. Unfortunately, I do not know how to override an ebuild setting, but I'll investigate. If this bug is not further updated with a resolution of specifying binutils to 2.27, the please suggest a way I can override what appears to be a decision to require a lower version of binutils.
I removed bintutils 2.25.... leaving only 2.27 and then tried again:
USE="efi" emerge app-emulation/xen
but the same problem occurred:

After the failure, I confirmed I'm using binutils 2.27:
zeta xen-4.8.0 # binutils-config -l
[1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-2.27 *
zeta xen-4.8.0 #
Apparently somoene else ran into the same problem with binutils 2.27: https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-12/msg01007.html
What's odd is that when I compiled outside of Gentoo's portage, using binutils 2.27 allowed me to overcome that juncture. Yet, when building with the ebuild and having only binutils 2.27 on my system (I removed the earlier version), I'm still blocked.
I couldn't re-produce this problem, both sys-devel/binutils-2.26.1 sys-devel/binutils-2.27 works fine here as I'm running a testing system (using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64") while yours is stable system.. not sure if this is the problem. I actually couldn't reproduce this problem at my stable box, even it works fine with binutils-2.25

Description: The Xen virtual machine monitor
A comment on the Xen mailing list made me wonder if parallel processing was the culprit. https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-12/msg01022.html raised this question: Is that newer version similarly configured, or is your success simply because of the two conflicting target types not being there at the same time? My /etc/portage/make.conf contained "-j9", so I reset it to "-j1" to avoid a possible race condition: #MAKEOPTS="-j9" MAKEOPTS="-j1" When I tried to re-emerge, it still failed at the same point: efi/buildid.o: file not recognized: File format is ambiguous efi/buildid.o: matching formats: coff-x86-64 pe-x86-64 Makefile:175: recipe for target '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/xen-4.8.0/work/xen-4.8.0/xen/xen.efi' failed I think what I'll do is "make clean" the staged Xen 4.8 and then recompile and capture everything in a log and then compare the two logs at the point failure. I'll update here with my findings after I accomplish that task. My out-of-portage build failed, too, with the same error. The log of my out of portage "make world" is at: http://napadata.net/paste/view/eb7c1d97 and in reviewing the log, I've determined that the problem may be occurring at line 1521: objcopy -I ihex -O binary buildid.ihex buildid.o because the next operation is the one that triggers the failure at lines 2236: efi/buildid.o: file not recognized: File format is ambiguous efi/buildid.o: matching formats: coff-x86-64 pe-x86-64 I have placed a zip archive of the efi directory, as well as the efi directory at: http://napadata.net/2016/zeta/20161209/ Another person running Gentoo commented on the Xen Forum: I have the same problem with binutils-2.27 on gentoo. Worked around it by adding " -b coff-x86-64 " to the ld command line before $(note_file). Running with gentoo-sources-4.8.12-gentoo-r1 as dom0 kernel. Compiled with gcc set to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-5.4.0 . Apart from that seems to be running nicely, in early test :-) https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-12/msg01007.html I determined what he was talking about, to wit, modifying Makefile under ...xen/arch/x86. I adopted his insertions of which there are three: $(TARGET).efi: prelink-efi.o $(note_file) efi.lds efi/relocs-dummy.o $(BASEDIR)/common/symbols-dummy.o efi/mkreloc $(foreach base, $(VIRT_BASE) $(ALT_BASE), \ $(guard) $(LD) $(call EFI_LDFLAGS,$(base)) -T efi.lds -N $< efi/relocs-dummy.o \ $(BASEDIR)/common/symbols-dummy.o -b coff-x86-64 $(note_file) -o $(@D)/.$(@F).$(base).0 &&) : $(guard) efi/mkreloc $(foreach base,$(VIRT_BASE) $(ALT_BASE),$(@D)/.$(@F).$(base).0) >$(@D)/.$(@F).0r.S $(guard) $(NM) -pa --format=sysv $(@D)/.$(@F).$(VIRT_BASE).0 \ | $(guard) $(BASEDIR)/tools/symbols $(all_symbols) --sysv --sort >$(@D)/.$(@F).0s.S $(guard) $(MAKE) -f $(BASEDIR)/Rules.mk $(@D)/.$(@F).0r.o $(@D)/.$(@F).0s.o $(foreach base, $(VIRT_BASE) $(ALT_BASE), \ $(guard) $(LD) $(call EFI_LDFLAGS,$(base)) -T efi.lds -N $< \ $(@D)/.$(@F).0r.o $(@D)/.$(@F).0s.o -b coff-x86-64 $(note_file) -o $(@D)/.$(@F).$(base).1 &&) : $(guard) efi/mkreloc $(foreach base,$(VIRT_BASE) $(ALT_BASE),$(@D)/.$(@F).$(base).1) >$(@D)/.$(@F).1r.S $(guard) $(NM) -pa --format=sysv $(@D)/.$(@F).$(VIRT_BASE).1 \ | $(guard) $(BASEDIR)/tools/symbols $(all_symbols) --sysv --sort >$(@D)/.$(@F).1s.S $(guard) $(MAKE) -f $(BASEDIR)/Rules.mk $(@D)/.$(@F).1r.o $(@D)/.$(@F).1s.o $(guard) $(LD) $(call EFI_LDFLAGS,$(VIRT_BASE)) -T efi.lds -N $< \ $(@D)/.$(@F).1r.o $(@D)/.$(@F).1s.o -b coff-x86-64 $(note_file) -o $@ if $(guard) false; then rm -f $@; echo 'EFI support disabled'; \ else $(NM) -pa --format=sysv $(@D)/$(@F) \ | $(BASEDIR)/tools/symbols --xensyms --sysv --sort >$(@D)/$(@F).map; fi rm -f $(@D)/.$(@F).[0-9]* and successfully executed the command from line 2235 of the Out of Portage log referenced above (correlates to line 1346 of the Build log): ld -mi386pep --subsystem=10 --image-base=0xffff82d080000000 --stack=0,0 --heap=0,0 --strip-debug --section-alignment=0x200000 --file-alignment=0x20 --major-image-version=4 --minor-image-version=8 --major-os-version=2 --minor-os-version=0 --major-subsystem-version=2 --minor-subsystem-version=0 --build-id=sha1 -T efi.lds -N prelink-efi.o efi/relocs-dummy.o /usr/local/src/xen-4.8.0/xen/common/symbols-dummy.o -b coff-x86-64 efi/buildid.o -o /usr/local/src/xen-4.8.0/xen/.xen.efi.0xffff82d080000000.0 && ld -mi386pep --subsystem=10 --image-base=0xffff82d0c0000000 --stack=0,0 --heap=0,0 --strip-debug --section-alignment=0x200000 --file-alignment=0x20 --major-image-version=4 --minor-image-version=8 --major-os-version=2 --minor-os-version=0 --major-subsystem-version=2 --minor-subsystem-version=0 --build-id=sha1 -T efi.lds -N prelink-efi.o efi/relocs-dummy.o /usr/local/src/xen-4.8.0/xen/common/symbols-dummy.o -b coff-x86-64 efi/buildid.o -o /usr/local/src/xen-4.8.0/xen/.xen.efi.0xffff82d0c0000000.0 && : I'll make a patch and upload to this bug. Summary: An explicit "input-format" format using the ld flag of "-b" is required to resolve the ambiguity binutils might encounter. My system treated the file as ambiguous, whereas Yixun Lan's system did not find the input file ambiguous. I do not have an explanation other than how binutils is installed may be contextual dependent upon the system it is installed on. Created attachment 455684 [details, diff]
patch for Xen-4.8.0
Modifies xen/arch/x86/Makefile so that input files are explicitly described as "coff-x86-64". On some Gentoo systems, binutils (2.27) reads the input files as possibly two types of files and because of the ambiguity, breaks the build with the error message:
efi/buildid.o: file not recognized: File format is ambiguous
efi/buildid.o: matching formats: coff-x86-64 pe-x86-64
Makefile:175: recipe for target '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/xen-4.8.0/work/xen-4.8.0/xen/xen.efi' failed
This patch adds 3 line parameters " -b coff-x86-64 " in the "ld" statement.

modified ebuild
differs from original simply by adding a single line (2nd line) to incorporate a patch:
epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-4.6-efi.patch
epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PN}-4.8.0-coff-x86-64.patch
Confirmed and successfully built xen-4.8.0 on a UEFI system. Note: have not confirmed whether I can launch or load Xen, there are still possible outstanding issues, but those issues are outside the scope of the xen-4.8.0 ebuild.
I will endeavor to submit the proposed patch the the Xen development team, but their procedure to submit patches involves some work and thus more time. GOOD NEWS!! update: I succeeded. It's a very problematic manner involving launching efi file from the EFI shell, but I have successfully launched my kernel as DOM0 atop an instance of XEN 4.8.0 -- I'm assuming that by run 'xl info' in my session and getting output I've succeeded: zeta jlpoole # xl info host : zeta release : 4.4.26-gentoo version : #1 SMP Wed Dec 7 20:56:22 PST 2016 machine : x86_64 nr_cpus : 8 max_cpu_id : 7 nr_nodes : 1 cores_per_socket : 8 threads_per_core : 1 cpu_mhz : 2400 hw_caps : b7ebfbff:43d8e3bf:28100800:00000101:00000000:00002282:00000000:00000100 virt_caps : hvm total_memory : 63207 free_memory : 129 sharing_freed_memory : 0 sharing_used_memory : 0 outstanding_claims : 0 free_cpus : 0 xen_major : 4 xen_minor : 8 xen_extra : .0 xen_version : 4.8.0 xen_caps : xen-3.0-x86_64 xen-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_32 hvm-3.0-x86_32p hvm-3.0-x86_64 xen_scheduler : credit xen_pagesize : 4096 platform_params : virt_start=0xffff800000000000 xen_changeset : xen_commandline : console=vga,com1 com1=9600 loglvl=all cc_compiler : x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc (Gentoo 4.9.3 p1.5, pie-0.6.4) 4.9.3 cc_compile_by : cc_compile_domain : [unknown] cc_compile_date : Fri Dec 9 09:25:39 PST 2016 build_id : 22b45f9d3e22085c9d9f204322ed8920 xend_config_format : 4 zeta jlpoole # The question is, where to document everything?? I'll ask for suggestions on the Gentoo forum. I'm leaving this marked "UNCOFIRMED" since I have a patch that I believe may be helpful to people whose binutils is unable to distinguish "coff-x86-64" from "pe-x86-64". For what is worth, here's a video of launching the Xen EFI at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjHzXfjVnxw Looking at your diff, you chose coff, EFI spec calls for PE. How certain are you that COFF is the right choice here? There is no reason behind my choice of COFF, it just worked. Confirming hitting bug. Patch works. Thank You Mr. Poole! The underlying issue still was not resolved. For further information, follow the thread on the Xen Developer's list: https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2016-12/msg02709.html Thanks, can confirm on xen 4.8.1. The patch works. Looks like that with binutils 2.28.1 it's not needed any more. Sorry, this is not fixed yet, I forgot I've the patch in my /etc/portage/patches. The patch is still needed. I have started building Xen straight from source, and just now I tried rebuilding binutils WITHOUT USE="multitarget". Unpatched xen builds without a hitch WITH efi.

I've tried with 4.8.2 and binutils with > USE=-multitarget and it failed :( FALSE alarm, sorry! Turns out xen.efi was not built when running the non-multitarget binutils. My home-grown build-scripts did not catch this. Sorry for the noise. I just took a peek inside the debian build-scripts. Where gentoo does: --enable-targets=all --enable-64-bit-bfd in toolchain-binutils.eclass, Debian in their binutils-multiarch package does: multiarch_targets = \ aarch64-linux-gnu \ aarch64_be-linux-gnu \ alpha-linux-gnu \ arm-linux-gnueabi \ hppa-linux-gnu \ i686-linux-gnu \ ia64-linux-gnu \ m32r-linux-gnu \ m68k-linux-gnu \ m68k-rtems \ mips-linux-gnu \ mipsel-linux-gnu \ mips64-linux-gnuabin32 \ mips64el-linux-gnuabin32 \ mips64-linux-gnu \ mips64el-linux-gnu \ mipsisa32r6-linux-gnu \ mipsisa32r6el-linux-gnu \ mipsisa64r6-linux-gnuabin32 \ mipsisa64r6el-linux-gnuabin32 \ mipsisa64r6-linux-gnuabi64 \ mipsisa64r6el-linux-gnuabi64 \ powerpc-linux-gnu \ powerpc64-linux-gnu \ powerpc64le-linux-gnu \ s390-linux-gnu \ s390x-linux-gnu \ sh-linux-gnu \ sparc-linux-gnu \ sparc64-linux-gnu \ x86_64-linux-gnu \ x86_64-linux-gnux32 \ m32r-linux-gnu \ x86_64-pep The issue is also in the version 4.9.1 I added the "-b coff-x86-64", like in the comment, in a vanilla version, and It works. So the patch "Xen-4.8.0" should also works with the 4.9.x version. You should add the patch in the main portage because we only have version 4.8.x and 4.9.x, when you try to upgrade xen (In my case I had version 4.7.3), I wasn't able to rebuild xen-tools-4.7.3, because emerge build first app-emulation/xen-tools and then app-emulation/xen. It should build first the app-emulation/xen and then app-emulation/xen-tools, like that we have no problems if there is a error build. (In reply to John L.
