The '-m64' flag will only be added when compiling efi_stub.c if CONFIG_EFI_STUB_64BIT is on. See below.

Yes, but not that bad. Still manageable :) Regards, Bin ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot

Yes, but then all of this would be unconditional for the full code base and not depend on CONFIG_EFI_STUB_64BIT at all :). I'm just wary that the efi payload code is quite hard to follow with all the combinations of 32/64 payload/u-boot bitnesses.

U-Boot building as 32-bit or 64-bit is one thing. How to build U-Boot is another thing.

Even if we only support 64-bit U-Boot as the 64-bit EFI payload, that does not mean i386-linux-gcc cannot be used.

The x86_64 U-Boot port is getting along reasonably well from what I can tell and 32bit UEFI implementations on 64-bit hosts are dying out. So can't we just remove all of that cruft altogether instead and just have x86_64 U-Boot with 64bit EFI stub and i386 U-Boot with 32bit EFI stub as only combinations? That would dramatically simplify the code. Alex ___ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
