Now this shows me something I haven't ever seen.  Build continuing in
the background after the main process exits?

It took me some time to find the error way back in the log...

The second make gave a similar result:

But the third one finally succeeded indeed!  I hope these concurrency
issues can also be sorted out soon, they carry a sloppy feeling.
Recursive make is considered harmful for a reason, I guess... :)

Also wouldn't relying on the INSTALLROOT support in the gnu-efi build
system make our build scripts simpler?

While we are at it: make spotless also ran fine afterwards, but left
some files under bios, and some more under the efi dirs.  I don't know
how much of that is intentional, just noting it.

> We still should get a check and warning about multilib in there.

That would have helped me immensely.  Sorry for my ignorance, and thanks
for the support!

Hmm, I've got gnu-efi 3.0u installed system-wide, I wonder if that makes
a difference...  It really should not, though.
