this is a bug to resolve https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556734 https://bitbucket.org/floppym/floppym-overlay/src/master/sys-boot/systemd-boot/ I'm trying to compile systemd-boot from the overlay, and got the following error: checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-pkg-config... no checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for

The systemd build system does not actually enforce that requirement, and it is certainly not required for use of systemd-boot. I would guess that you have an old version of util-linux installed. Please upgrade to >= 2.27.1. If that's not the case, please attach config.log.
commit e32915980436101f85806d413c9f134f551002b1 Author: Mike Gilbert <floppym@gentoo.org> Date: Sun Aug 28 10:21:48 2016 -0400 systemd-boot: update util-linux requirement
confirm it compiled with >= 2.27.1. I'll leave it up to you to investigate the bug #592296. Thanks.
I've managed to compile and boot my efi system. Please go ahead and push it to the portage.
