Simon Hardy 6643507ce3 build: Fix GRUB i386-pc build with Ubuntu gcc
With recent versions of gcc on Ubuntu a very large lzma_decompress.img file is
output. (e.g. 134479600 bytes instead of 2864.) This causes grub-mkimage to
fail with: "error: Decompressor is too big."

This seems to be caused by a section .note.gnu.property that is placed at an
offset such that objcopy needs to pad the img file with zeros.

This issue is present on:
Ubuntu 19.10 with gcc (Ubuntu 8.3.0-26ubuntu1~19.10) 8.3.0
Ubuntu 19.10 with gcc (Ubuntu 9.2.1-9ubuntu2) 9.2.1 20191008

This issue is not present on:
Ubuntu 19.10 with gcc (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~19.10) 7.5.0
RHEL 8.0 with gcc 8.3.1 20190507 (Red Hat 8.3.1-4)

The issue can be fixed by removing the section using objcopy as shown in
this patch.

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader.
GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more
robust, more powerful, and more portable.

See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the
GRUB 2 data and program files.

Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information.
The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>.

More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual,
accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2.

There are a number of important user-visible differences from the
first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please
