Issue: sys-apps/systemd-utils-251.9 fails to compile (CLANG-STRICTER-SYSTEM).
Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: clang-stricter_tinderbox)

NOTE:
(CLANG-STRICTER-SYSTEM) in the summary means that the bug was found on a machine that runs clang with stricter mode

This machine uses clang with CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS=-Werror=implicit-function-declaration -Werror=implicit-int -Werror=incompatible-function-pointer-types

I think we need objcopy from binutils, not llvm-objcopy.

This should be fixed with the next upstream release of systemd. It no longer uses gnuefi/objcopy.
