Subject: efi: Build EFI stub with EFI-appropriate options
From: Matthew Garrett <m...@redhat.com>
commit 9dead5bbb825d7c25c0400e61de83075046322d0 upstream.
We can't assume the presence of the red zone while we're still in a boot
services environment, so we should build with -fno-red-zone to avoid
problems. Change the size of wchar at the same time to make string handling
simpler.
