The EFI related code needs to be buil with "-fshort-wchar", as EFI defines 16 bit wide characters and uses them in various APIs. This fixes the prelink target build failures in the arch/x86 directory, and is needed for the ARM EFI stub files as well. The prelink build failures may only happen during parallel builds.
This will be removed as part of getting the x86 and ARM archs to share code and have it built correctly.
And I'm sure if you ordered things suitable this could be avoided. IOW I'm not seeing this change go in.
