But I think this is a waste of build time.
One thought I have here is that with the switch to GitLab hosted by DENX, we should look at configuring jobs such that we can perhaps pass artifacts around? Then just have a project that is "just" a clone of GRUB and does the build we need to have EFI binaries we need. This would cover the GPL needs and be a little cleaner looking. -- Tom
