all cross-compiling image build fail, because glibc 2.39 cross-compiling fail.

this is in cross-libc*, but glibc not have this phase.

glibc 2.35 have "glibc-cross-objdump.patch" and "glibc-cross-objcopy.patch"
patch, but glibc 2.39 not have them, so 2.39 cross compiling try use objdump
and build fail, and 2.35 success.


I checked again today. because (gnu services base)'s nscd-configuration
default use glibc, not '(cross-libc target)', This is why glibc was
introduced. Maybe the following patch can also be useful.
