In the process of the EFI on intel work, I ran across a strange issue.
 The procedure for creating loader.efi goes something like this:

1) compile to ELF object files

2) generate an ELF executable with -Bsymbolic and a custom linker
script that puts everything starting at 0x1000, and also appends some
kind of data to the end of symbols (you can find this in
sys/boot/i386/efi)

3) use objcopy to convert to PE format (BFD is ia32-efi-app)


However, using clang for any of this seems to result in bad jump
offsets being generated, which will cause the resulting program to
fail.  I haven't done a thorough investigation of the issues yet, but
I wanted to bring it up to see if anyone has seen something similar,
or has any insights.
