I don't know why you think it's a good idea to add the target binaries to your
PATH. Don't do that.

The config.log of attachment 6136 is useless. Could you re-run a clean build
without hacking PATH, and then attach the full
output/build/grub2-2.00/config.log please?

My conjecture is that grub2 is using the wrong objcopy somewhere in configure.
Oh, indeed, now I see: we use HOST_CONFIGURE_OPTS, so it will have
OBJCOPY=/usr/bin/objcopy explicitly. I guess we should override that with
OBJCOPY=$(TARGET_OBJCOPY), but I'm not sure how that will affect other
host,target combinations...
