Bug#1032501: gnu-efi FTCBFS: unsatisfiable binutils dependency

[Helmut Grohne <helmut@subdivi.de>]

Source: gnu-efi
Version: 3.0.15-1
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross@lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability

gnu-efi cannot be cross built from source due to its binutils
dependency. For native builds, it is implied by build-essential. For
cross builds it is unsatisfiable. Please drop it. Doing so fixes cross
builds for arm*, but not for x86. I'm attaching a patch for your
convenience. If you ever need a veryioned dependency on binutils, please
use binutils-for-host or binutils-for-build depending on how you use it.

Helmut
