Some binutils versions will drag in an object to satisfy the entry
symbol; some won't.  Try to cope with this exciting variety of
behaviour by ensuring that all entry symbols are unique.

Remove the explicit inclusion of the prefix object on the linker
command line, since the entry symbol now provides all the information
needed to identify the prefix.

The linker chooses to look for _start first and always picks
efidrvprefix.o to satisfy it (probably because it's earlier in the
archive) which causes a multiple definition error when the linker
later has to pick efiprefix.o for other symbols.

Fix by using EFI-specific TGT_LD_FLAGS with an explicit entry point.

Merge in the changes that allow for building EFI driver images (that
can be loaded using the EFI shell's "load" command) as well as EFI
applications.

elf2efi converts a suitable ELF executable (containing relocation
information, and with appropriate virtual addresses) into an EFI
executable.  It is less tightly coupled with the gPXE build process
and, in particular, does not require the use of a hand-crafted PE
image header in efiprefix.S.

elf2efi correctly handles .bss sections, which significantly reduces
the size of the gPXE EFI executable.

The check for unresolved symbols does not explicitly specify an output
architecture format, and so causes a warning when building an i386 EFI
binary on an x86_64 platform.  This warning is harmless, and
specifying the output architecture in multiple places is cumbersome,
so just inhibit the warning.

Currently the only supported platform for x86_64 is EFI.

Building an EFI64 gPXE requires a version of gcc that supports
__attribute__((ms_abi)).  This currently means a development build of
gcc; the feature should be present when gcc 4.4 is released.

In the meantime; you can grab a suitable gcc tree from

  git://git.etherboot.org/scm/people/mcb30/gcc/.git

We have EFI APIs for CPU I/O, PCI I/O, timers, console I/O, user
access and user memory allocation.

EFI executables are created using the vanilla GNU toolchain, with the
EXE header handcrafted in assembly and relocations generated by a
custom efilink utility.
