I think the -mno-red-zone thing is a good catch, the rest of EFI projects all use it;
now I wonder if there might be other similar parameters probably overlooked on EFI builds...
The variable "EFI_BUILD" is "already" defined at /makefile by the targets "efi32:" and "efi64:"
Celeibi's patch seems to only propagate its value and correctly use -mno-red-zone when needed.
At first sight I cannot see this mod breaking anything.
I just only wonder if -mno-red-zone is now applied to the "whole" EFI codebase without forgetting anycomponent of the build.
Best,Patrick
