i think this is related to https://bugs.gentoo.org/652842 the current ipxe-1.21.1.ebuild installs only an x86 (not x86_64) version of the ipxe.efi library. the ebuild needs to be modified to allow the compilation and the installation of the x86_64 ipxe.efi file. i tried getting a local ebuild to do this, but the compilation dies for me due to some -Wall related warning errors (ignored using make NO_ERRORS=1 ...) and some defined symbol error (undefined symbol: `obj_ipxe32`) during linking. here's the ebuild patch: --- /usr/portage/sys-firmware/ipxe/ipxe-1.21.1.ebuild 2022-05-19 05:40:18.000000000 -0700 +++ ipxe-1.21.1.ebuild 2022-12-28 22:04:55.719805489 -0800 @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ LICENSE="GPL-2" SLOT="0" KEYWORDS="~alpha amd64 ~arm arm64 ~hppa ~ia64 ~loong ~mips ~ppc ppc64 ~riscv x86" -IUSE="+binary efi ipv6 iso lkrn +qemu undi usb vmware" +IUSE="+binary efi32 efi64 ipv6 iso lkrn +qemu undi usb vmware" REQUIRED_USE="!amd64?

also, the binary target tarball also likely needs to be updated as it only contains the x86 binary: https://dev.gentoo.org/~tamiko/distfiles/ipxe-1.21.1-bin.tar.xz
it may be good to have a 9999 ebuild to compile against git head. i just did a local install using head and there were no compilation warnings or errors. 1.21.1 was tagged 2 years ago, and there's been many commits since.
yeah.. it appears upstream prefers to treat head as stable. maybe a date ~= git commit hash based versioning approach would work well here.
If we were going to package snapshots of IPXE, I think it would make the most sense to package snapshots based on the commit that QEMU pins. In 7.2.0, that would be 4bd064de239dab2426b31c9789a1f4d78087dc63 (https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/tree/b67b00e6b4c7831a3f5bc684bc0df7a9bfd1bd56/roms, https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/commit/4bd064de23), which is even older than the IPXE version in tree, 1.21.1.

I suppose we should do something like Arch does (https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/ipxe/), and install the .efi's to usr/share/ipxe/{i386,x86_64}/ipxe.efi. Not sure if qemu will automatically see both of those binaries, though.
yeah.. the patch was my start, and i mentioned in my original post that it doesn't quite work for me. i was able to compile things following the ipxe directions on a plain checkout at head (i.e. not using the make targets that the ebuild uses).
I've added a couple commits to this end here: https://github.com/ajakk/gentoo/tree/bug888827 I plan on polishing for ::gentoo over the next day or two. Feel free to try this, but I've not tested yet at runtime myself.
cool. 1. please drop the unused efi use flag in the metadata.xml file change. 2. will the bin package provide everything (assume full use flags)?
(In reply to razamatan from comment #9) > cool. > > 1. please drop the unused efi use flag in the metadata.xml file change. I think that'd kind as polishing and it can't be done until old versions are cleaned up. pkgcheck checks for that anyway.
(In reply to razamatan from comment #9) > cool. > > 1. please drop the unused efi use flag in the metadata.xml file change. See Sam's comment > 2. will the bin package provide everything (assume full use flags)? Yes, it's a gpkg of sys-firmware/ipxe with USE=*, poking at the internals of the gpkg you can see that USE (the flags the package is actually built with) are a superset of the IUSE flags (the flags declared by the package itself), except for savedconfig: ~/tmp/ipxe-1.21.1-r1-1 $ grep "" metadata/{I,}USE metadata/IUSE:efi32 efi64 iso usb savedconfig metadata/USE:abi_x86_64 amd64 efi32 efi64 elibc_glibc iso kernel_linux usb userland_GNU
any movement here? i see the branch, but no pr yet. anything i can help with?
(In reply to razamatan from comment #12) > any movement here? i see the branch, but no pr yet. anything i can help > with? Sorry, I lost track of this. I'm not really familiar with PXE. Do the changes at that branch work for you?

Apart from that i have the same Problem that emerge throws the above error when trying to emerge the specified ipxe version
I have had also this message and it seems, only the update does not work from sys-firmware/ipxe-1.21.1 -> sys-firmware/ipxe-1.21.1_p20230601 If you do a "emerge -Cav sys-firmware/ipxe" and after that a emerge -av =sys-firmware/ipxe-1.21.1_p20230601 All goes smoothly and the message goes away.
One thing is, that qemu depends on 1.2.1 [...] ~sys-firmware/ipxe-1.21.1[binary,qemu] [...] so a emerge world will downgrade the package again. I will open a bug on the app-emulation/qemu package for this.
