The kernel/kvm test uses the host objcopy when building a payload, but
the host objcopy might not know how to deal with target binaries:
CC testcases/kernel/kvm/lib_host.o
objcopy: Unable to recognise the format of the input file
`kvm_svm03-payload.elf'
make[3]: *** [ltp/testcases/kernel/kvm/Makefile:67: kvm_svm03-payload.o]
Error 1
Solve this by using the host-prefixed objcopy binary.

+Subject: [PATCH] kernel/kvm: don't hardcode objcopy
+
+testcases/kernel/kvm uses objcopy to contruct a payload binary, but in
+cross builds the host objcopy may not know how to handle target
+binaries:
+
+ CC testcases/kernel/kvm/lib_host.o
+ objcopy: Unable to recognise the format of the input file
`kvm_svm03-payload.elf'
+ make[3]: *** [ltp/testcases/kernel/kvm/Makefile:67: kvm_svm03-payload.o]
Error 1
+
+This is trivially fixed by searching for an objcopy tool (so
+host-prefixed in cross builds) and using that instead.
