[vbox-dev] Tips or config on building/debugging 64bit EFI?

[Vasily Levchenko]

Hi, Brandon,
Here we're using Unix build environment mostly. Windows based build we 
do very rare for validation reasons, so looks like we need verify 
Windows build ;). So as temporal workaround you might build EFI on Linux 
guest (please note that Lucid distribution has supported mingw64 package 
in repository). I'll try to reproduce the build issue and will return to 
you.

I've successfully rebuilt the EFI using the EDK2 + VBox patches for 32bit but am having issues with the 64bit EFI.  I've resolved the build related issues related to differences in the toolchain used but the 64bit stalls during boot.  32bit boots fine (using the same tool chain).  Is there a recommend configuration for testing/debugging the EFI?  Are there any special build options or ways to 'bread crumb' my way through the boot?  Has anyone successfully rebuilt the 64bit EFI using a Windows based build environment?
