That would mean adjusting README to say a newer binutils is required for
xen.efi, right? Then ofc we would need to figure out which version
specifically. FWIW Ubuntu 16.04 has 2.26 and Ubuntu 18.04 has 2.30.
Would raising required toolchain version (for some configuration here)
even accepted, especially if considered for backporting?

Alternatively, simply disable building xen.efi in CI on 16.04, and maybe
document as "known issue" pointing at toolchain bug? Result is very
similar, but might be more acceptable on the process side...
