xen EFI boot file build requires binutils compiled with --enable-targets=x86_64-pep

Using mingw-w64-binutils was a workaround, but with mingw-w64-binutils moved to AUR, there is now no direct way to compile the EFI boot files needed by Xen.

Arch Linux Xen build process is now:
multilib-build binutils with --enable-targets=x86_64-pep
manually install modified binutils in multilib-build root chroot
multilib-build xen

Could this compile flag be added to binutils?
This task depends upon
