Symbolic links are not supported on all file systems, e.g. not on FAT. So it is not wise to use them in our source tree.

Use a qualified path to refer to lib/efi_loader/efi_freestanding.c in scripts/Makefile.lib instead.

Reported-by: Alexander Graf agraf@suse.de Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt xypron.glpk@gmx.de --- Hello Alex,

may be it is better to merge this patch with efi-next commit 78501c873594 ("efi_loader: use freestanding library for efi apps") to avoid trouble. But this would require that you shuffle the commits on the efi-next branch.

Best regards
