This updates the makefile fragments to ensure '-m64' is passed to toolchain when building the 64-bit EFI payload stub codes.

Is there any sane reason to keep the split between EFI and U-Boot long size alive? The x86_64 U-Boot port is getting along reasonably well from what I can tell and 32bit UEFI implementations on 64-bit hosts are dying out.
So can't we just remove all of that cruft altogether instead and just have x86_64 U-Boot with 64bit EFI stub and i386 U-Boot with 32bit EFI stub as only combinations?
That would dramatically simplify the code.
