[Linux-ia64] minor update to gnu-efi package available

[Stephane Eranian <eranian@frankl.hpl.hp.com>]

Hi,

We have recently uncovered a problem with the gnu-efi package version 3.0
and versions of gcc > 3.0 such as the one shipped on Redhat7.2/ia64. 

The problem is caused by some new optimization in the code generating 
the read-only data sections. Basically, the constant strings (such as for
printf()) are moved into a section that is not called .rodata anymore but
.rodata.strX.Y (where X and Y can vary). The loader scripts did not
know about these sections and therefore were not including them resulting
in garbage being printed by the Print() function.

Version 3.0a of gnu-efi corrects this problem on both IA-32 and IA-64 
systems. There was no other important changes to the package.

You can download the package at:
