Public bug reported: USE_EFI is only defined in ipmi-locate if the ARCH is ia64. A distro (RHEL7 for example) delivered version of freeipmi will need to run on UEFI and legacy systems. I've attached a patch that fixes this issue and another issue where the SMBIOS= line in /sys/firmware/efi/systab is terminated with a "linefeed" (0x0a) and not a NULL(ox00)
