I ran this:
arm-linux-gnueabihf-objdump env/common.o -t |grep default_environment
|awk '{print $4}'
to generate the name of the section:
.gnu.lto_default_environment.188.408aacacdb8e4907
I modified the Makefile to search for default_environment, then use
output of that as a parameter to $OBJCOPY, and that appears to work.

I am not sure it's the right solution, but it appears to work for me
on a board that uses LTO. I didn't try it with a board that doesn't
use LTO.
