The ${build_dir}/FV/OVMF.fd file changes depending on the configuration.
There's only one such file after a build.

Can you build with and without secure boot in a single build? I wasn't
sure how to achieve that, so I just copied what Fedora does.

I think I would prefer to have a single recipe with a PACKAGECONFIG for
secure boot. Having different recipes doesn't scale when adding more
such options. If you agree, then I'll add that.

This is intentionally a hardlink, not a symbolic link, exactly because
of the problem you mentioned ;-)
