IMPORTANT Information related to the gnu-efi package
----------------------------------------------------
August 2003
As of version elilo-3.0, the gnu-efi package is now split in two different packages:
-> gnu-efi-X.y: contains the EFI library, header, files, and crt0.
-> elilo-X.y : contains the ELILO bootloader.
Note that X.y don't need to match for both packages. However elilo-3.x requires at
least gnu-efi >= 3.0. When using a version of gcc >3.0 you MUST use at least gnu-efi-3.0a.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR IA-32:
-------------------------
For IA-32, the Redhat 8.0 toolchain is known to produce
working binaries when used with gnu-efi-3.0a + loader
script patch which is included in the gnu-efi-3.0a-ia32.patch
in this package. The toolchain includes:
gcc: gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)
as: GNU assembler version 2.13.90.0.2 (i386-redhat-linux) using BFD version
2.13.90.0.2 20020802
ld: GNU ld version 2.13.90.0.2 20020802
The Redhat 9.0 toolchain does not work at the moment.
