Thanks for the report, I can reproduce this. I'll commit a fix for this
shortly.

I pushed a fix for this which will be part of the next prerelease. In
the meantime you may want to manually apply the following commit,

Subject: [PATCH] efi: there are no EFI installer components

Users are reporting hitting the following error when typing 'make
installer',

  make[3]: *** No rule to make target `efi32/core/codepage.o', needed by
`syslinux.so'.  Stop.

But there's no actual need to build any installers for EFI (none exist),
especially not since the stuff in utils/ is already built for BIOS and
doesn't need building again.
