As I have indicated elsewhere (but can't seem to locate - it was a while 
ago), I think it is perfectly reasonable to have a CONFIG_EFI which is 
only enabled if the makefile detects GCC >= 4.5

That way, older build environments don't get EFI support, while newer 
ones do, and newer systems can safely use __attribute__((__ms_abi__)) to 
make a mixed abi binary.
