Unfortunately this change breaks the build on my Debian testing box: $ git checkout ipxe/master $ make --version GNU Make 3.81 $ make rm -f bin/*.* bin/NIC ./util/nrv2b ./util/zbin ./util/elf2efi32 ./util/elf2efi64 ./util/efirom ./util/iccfix ./util/einfo TAGS bin/symtab [MEDIADEPS] raw [MEDIADEPS] hd [MEDIADEPS] nbi [MEDIADEPS] dsk [MEDIADEPS] lkrn [MEDIADEPS] kkpxe [MEDIADEPS] kpxe [MEDIADEPS] pxe [MEDIADEPS] mrom [MEDIADEPS] rom [AR] bin/blib.a ar: creating bin/blib.a [HOSTCC] util/zbin [LD] bin/ipxe.dsk.tmp arch/i386/scripts/i386.lds:1: undefined symbol `_max_align' referenced in expression make: *** [bin/ipxe.dsk.tmp] Error 1 I'm not sure why dependencies aren't being generated and object files aren't being compiled. Instead it is trying to build blib.a early and link the floppy image. Changing back to the absolute path gets the build working again. Looks like there is more to this problem than just the PERL absolute path.
