Shouldn't we do like for grub: some EFI-BIOS on x86-64 machines might be
a 32-bit EFI-BIOS, in which case we'd want to build the 32-bit version
even if the target is 64-bit?

Why install in target/ and staging/, and not in images/ ?

Also, this is used to build EFI applications, so I'd expect some host
tools to be built and isntalled, too. What am I missing?

(Hmm... Maybe I should look at the rest of the series...)
