OK, https://reviews.freebsd.org/D49722 should fix this then (but will break some other, even more unusual cases). I'll see if I can update it to work for those cases too. > i might have optimized myself into hellhole here but what happened within > last month that caused this, which change is it? This is the change that will have introduced the breakage: commit b885643b63e4df51cc6c74c4ddd4d0b640075678 Author: Ed Maste <ema...@freebsd.org> Date: Fri Mar 14 12:42:15 2025 -0400 boot: Always use ELF Tool Chain elfcopy for EFI builds We now use llvm-objcopy by default (as of commit 1cae7121c667), but it does not support efi-app-x86_64 and similar ouptut formats (for more detail see LLVM issue 108609[1]). Go back to installing ELF Tool Chain's version of objcopy as elfcopy (the standard upstream name) and use it for EFI builds. [1] https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/108609).
