The question is, is this intentional code breakage or a mistake? Is CentOS 6 no 
longer supported as a build platform for iPXE? Thankfully I also run an HPC 
cluster where I already had newer versions of GCC compiled for other things to 
test with or I wouldn't have found it so quickly.

| James,

| Thank you; it's fixed by migrating to a CentOS 7 build and gcc 4.8.3; as
| mentioned before in this list you need xz-devel installed or the make will
| croak at "util/zbin lzma.h: No such file or directory"

| Best,

| Matt
