Subject: [PATCH] efi/libstub: zboot: Avoid eager evaluation of objcopy flags
Date: Mon, 22 May 2023 08:33:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230522063319.501481-1-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)

The Make variable containing the objcopy flags may be constructed from
the output of build tools operating on build artifacts, and these may
not exist when doing a make clean.

So avoid evaluating them eagerly, to prevent spurious build warnings.
