> Not all .o files generated by the Xen build need to be passed to

>  Run create-diff-object on xen/arch/x86/efi/buildid.o
>  Open base
>  /usr/libexec/livepatch-build-tools/create-diff-object: ERROR: buildid.o: 
> kpatch_create_section_list: 77: elf_getshdrnum

> This file is special, as it does not contain any sections. It is
> generated by objcopy from a magic string of bytes (see Xen commit
> eee5909e9d1e x86/EFI: use less crude a way of generating the build ID),
> which probably will never change. Therefore, livepatch-gcc should not
> copy it to the output directory.
