I see that `PeiUniCore/DEBUG/AutoGen.h` contains
`#define _PCD_GET_MODE_32_PcdFvBaseAddress  _gPcd_FixedAtBuild_PcdFvBaseAddress`

and `PeiUniCore/DEBUG/AutoGen.c`:
`GLOBAL_REMOVE_IF_UNREFERENCED const UINT32 _gPcd_FixedAtBuild_PcdFvBaseAddress = _PCD_VALUE_PcdFvBaseAddress;`

also, in PeiUniCore/DEBUG/AutoGen.h
`#define _PCD_VALUE_PcdFvBaseAddress  0x80008000U`

So _PCD_GET_MODE_32_PcdFvBaseAddress should get set to the right value.

Oddly, the call to PcdGet32() from PrePi doesn't get here. It takes the MdePkg/Include/Library/PcdLib.h:
#define PcdGet32(TokenName)                 _PCD_GET_MODE_32_##TokenName
route instead.


What is the AutoGen.* for the library? 

Thanks,

Thanks, I was unaware of that.
