Hi together,

The gnu-efi project released in January a new version: 3.0.5.

Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to find a release-note or such.

Fact is, syslinux has some difficulties building with that version.

- The declaration of VPrint is now in the gnu-efi headers, and is
incompatible with syslinux one (CONST missing in syslinux)

- The EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE struct is now called EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL

- The declaration of the various longjump types is incompatible with
  syslinux's.

I've stopped when investigating that last one, so there might be more.

Is there any interest in making syslinux compatible with the latest
gnu-efi release ?

Regards,
Ben.
