strncpy will copy 8 chars into a buffer of size 8
which does not leave space for the terminating null byte,
thus gcc8 failed compilation with
In function 'process_section',
inlined from 'elf2pe.isra.4' at util/elf2efi.c:913:25:
util/elf2efi.c:497:2: error: 'strncpy' specified bound 8 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
It seems hdr.Name is not supposed to be null-terminated,
so memcpy is more appropriate.
