#8 'make install' fails on linux
I build this project on Linux Arch and install step fails:
make all

Hello Anatol,
Are you building from the latest git tree?
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/gnu-efi/code gnu-efi-code
What version of gcc do you have installed?
-Nigel
Yes I am building from git HEAD (sha1 == aa1df67f48f3c035fa8891e1bb311ec21500d6d9).

Here is debug output for 'make install' https://gist.github.com/anatol/e1aad2b6a2c7d82bae5e
The most interesting part starts with "Considering target file '///usr/local/lib/'." I think this is some 'make' quirk but I am not good in the Makefiles to fix the problem.
I also reverted make to previous version (4.0) and the problem still exists.
Hi Nigel.
Is there at least any workaround for this problem? We would like to release a new version of gnu-efi package to Linux Arch, but this make issue blocks us.
No workaround for Linux Arch. Infact I am now seeing a new/different error.
gcc-4.8-aarch64-linux-gnu 4.8.2-13ubuntu1cross0.11
gcc-4.8-aarch64-linux-gnu-base 4.8.2-13ubuntu1cross0.11
gcc-4.8-base:amd64 4.8.2-19ubuntu1
This is with cross-compiling on a x86_64 box.
$ make ARCH=aarch64 all
Anatol,
Can you post a log of "make clean; sudo make install" ?
-Nigel
Anatol,
Are you building for x86_64 and on a x86_64 platform?
Hi Nigel
Was you able to make any progress with this bug?
Do you mean that 'make install' works fine for you? What gmake do you use? What OS?
Both Linux Fedora and Linux Arch have decided to use following patch to void the bug

I believe commit 56eb64d3c06854b9b68d61e3c2d3bdf6ff2a9853 fixed this issue
can we close this issue Anatol ?
Yes, it can be closed. Thanks!
