The way I think the Makefiles could be improved is by rewriting them from scratch in a non-re...

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> The System V ABI for x86-64 specify that a "red zone" is an area of 128 bytes above the current stack frame. This area can be used by a called function in order to avoid the overhead of modifying the stack pointer. The direct effect is that interrupt/event/signal handlers must not write to this area. In the UEFI calling convention,

...able inside Makefiles could potentially affect scripts such as package builders, perhaps even the way the official (pre)release archives are built(?). For further details and explanation, see the commit "The make files have undergone changes to support both i386 and x86_64 platforms" (2012Jun): repo.or.cz/syslinux.git/commit/38e58635d3868c23537fc5dce87b152a52df34ad Perhaps we should consider how to improve the Makefiles without potentially breaking backwards compatibility? Regards, Ady. PS: Shouldn't this type of things (as described in the aforementioned commit from 2012Jun)...
