efitools cannot be cross built from source, because it uses build
architecture aspects. The ARCH variable is detected from uname and LD
and OBJCOPY are also for the build architecture. I'm attaching a patch
to fix these for your conveniecne.

Once fixing these, you can see this:

./cert-to-efi-sig-list -g 11111111-2222-3333-4444-123456789abc PK.crt PK.esl
./cert-to-efi-sig-list: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

This looks a little more involved. It is running a tool that has just
been built. It is not clear to me whether this tool behaves in an
architecture-independent way and we can maybe use a self dependency. It
also is not clear to me whether we have to run it at all during build
given that yocto patched this out. Could you shed some light on this
invocation?

Helmut
