The resulting confusion will depend much on what object gets
overwritten by the surplus byte.
(One could need a hybrid of qemu and valgrind to have
 dynamic memory checking at boot time.)


None of the verified errors in the cppcheck list is a
really convincing suspect.
The makefiles mention a few libraries:
  -lgnuefi -lefi -luuid -lbfd -liberty -lz -lpcap -lc
It is not easy to decide whether any of them goes into the
installed boot binaries.
Does anybody have a clue which of them could be involved ?


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
