This is reproducible for me locally with:

  $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm64 CC=clang CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- 
HOSTCC=clang LD=ld.lld clean allnoconfig all
  aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy: vmlinux: file format not recognized
  ...

This does not occur with llvm-objcopy via LLVM=1 nor does it happen with
an all GNU setup. This feels like a bug in GNU objcopy though, as this
is reproducible with:

  $ aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy --set-section-flags .modinfo=noload 
vmlinux.unstripped vmlinux.objcopy

  $ file vmlinux.unstripped vmlinux.objcopy
  vmlinux.unstripped: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 
(SYSV), statically linked, 
BuildID[sha1]=18512f67dae70a7fae145b34514054a8b8b3c105, not stripped
  vmlinux.objcopy:    ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, ARM aarch64, version 1 
(SYSV), statically linked, 
BuildID[sha1]=18512f67dae70a7fae145b34514054a8b8b3c105, not stripped

  $ aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy --remove-section=.modinfo -w 
--strip-unneeded-symbol='__mod_device_table__*' vmlinux.objcopy
  aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy: vmlinux.objcopy: file format not recognized

  $ aarch64-linux-gnu-objcopy --version | head -1
  GNU objcopy (GNU Binutils) 2.45.50.20251028

Cheers,
