Currently, the jam files depend on a value of HAIKU_BOOT_PLATFORM to
decide whether to build platform/bios_ia32 or platform/efi boot
loaders. Granted, I should probably expend more effort into modifying
the jam files to support multiple boot platforms instead...
I added this, as I accidentally ended up wasting 1.5 days wondering
why the loader had suddenly broken, only to realise I had missed
specifying -sHAIKU_BOOT_PLATFORM=efi in my jam invocations. Granted,
just now thinking about it, I could probably add that to my
UserBuildConfig...
Merging the EFI & BIOS boot loaders into a single image is very low on
my priorities; someone else is free to take that on if they so desire
:-)
