Hello,

I've been looking a bit more at this. there is definitively another
issue here which is the first one I found:

x86_64-poky-linux-objcopy: 
/home/alexandre/poky/build-st/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64/linuxx64.efi.stub: 
file format not recognized

This is the main issue here.

$ file 
/home/alexandre/poky/build-st/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64/linuxx64.efi.stub

I tested with v253.7 and I properly get:

$ file 
/home/alexandre/poky/build-st/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64/linuxx64.efi.stub
/home/alexandre/poky/build-st/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64/linuxx64.efi.stub:

 -h /home/alexandre/poky/build-st/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64/linuxx64.efi.stub

/home/alexandre/poky/build-st/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86-64/linuxx64.efi.stub:   
  file format pei-x86-64

I really believe the recipe is not generating a working efi.stub. Can
you check?
