It might need binutils[multitarget] but then I wonder how much value it has anyway (because afaik no armv7 EFI firmware exists)?
I looked in the Makefile and it says arm32 and riscv64 use elf instead of PE. So it is easy to fix, I simply need to remove my test on these arches. I also wondered myself why it has been keyworded on arm in the first place, but the description on upstream github says: "Develop EFI applications for ARM-64, ARM-32, x86_64, IA-64 (IPF), IA-32 (x86), and MIPS platforms using the GNU toolchain and the EFI development environment." So I assume someone somewhere maybe uses it.
