Could you try gnuefi-script-for-wferi-test branch on my repos at

  git://git.zytor.com/users/genec/syslinux.git
  git://github.com/geneC/syslinux.git

These changes fixed my issues (aside from the concurrency issue which
2-3 passes solves for me).  We still should get a check and warning
about multilib in there.

Now this shows me something I haven't ever seen.  Build continuing in
the background after the main process exits?

It took me some time to find the error way back in the log...

The second make gave a similar result:

But the third one finally succeeded indeed!  I hope these concurrency
issues can also be sorted out soon, they carry a sloppy feeling.
Recursive make is considered harmful for a reason, I guess... :)

Also wouldn't relying on the INSTALLROOT support in the gnu-efi build
system make our build scripts simpler?

While we are at it: make spotless also ran fine afterwards, but left
some files under bios, and some more under the efi dirs.  I don't know
how much of that is intentional, just noting it.

That would have helped me immensely.  Sorry for my ignorance, and thanks
for the support!

Hmm, I've got gnu-efi 3.0u installed system-wide, I wonder if that makes
a difference...  It really should not, though.

Partial results.  At least it eventually can complete the build.  I
have a feeling it's related to the gnu-efi builds.

Yes, I noticed that too (but hadn't fixed that yet).

I actually forgot to do the same on one of my build boxes and that's
how I found the issue this week.

With Matt Fleming's inclusion of gnu-efi as a git submodule, your
system could have no gnu-efi and it should build properly.  I believe
a major reason why he did this is that Syslinux depends on a very
bleeding edge version that virtually distro will include or make easy
to install (except from source yourself).
