[Bug 2139340] Re: objcopy --target=efi-app-x86_64 no longer works (regression)

[Mate Kukri]

Found the root cause, this is because --target now also sets the input
target in objcopy not just the output target. using --output-target
instead works.

This is obviously a binutils regression but I'll patch it sbsigntool and
leave binutils be.
