Ah - that was the string I was failing to search for. But, note_file is special and complicated. sbat.o would be a regular EFI-only object, but that can't be expressed currently, with how prelink.o works. I think in the short term, the v4 patch is the way to go. Reworking the build system to have EFI-only and ELF-only objects is a larger task. ~Andrew
