UEFI test files like helloworld.efi require an architecture specific
PE-COFF header.
For non-sandbox the PE-COFF header is chosen by the target architecture.
For the sandbox we use the host architecture. This is not helpful for cross
compiling. Allow specifying the target architecture of the sandbox via
environment variable MK_ARCH, e.g.
make sandbox_defconfig NO_SDL=1
CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- NO_SDL=1 MK_ARCH=aarch64 make

+Cross compiling
+---------------
+
+When cross compiling the U-Boot sandbox with CONFIG_EFI_LOADER=y the target
+architecture must be specified using the MK_ARCH environment variable using one
+of the values aarch64, armv7l, i386, riscv32, riscv64, x86_64, e.g.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ NO_SDL=1 make sandbox_defconfig
+ CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- MK_ARCH=aarch64 NO_SDL=1 make
+
+NO_SDL=1 was chosen in the example to remove the dependency on the SDL library.
+The graphical console will not be available.
