Same here: I was unable to build this using gcc-11.2, but was able to build using gcc-10.3
Comment 3 Jaak Ristioja 2021-08-11 20:37:08 UTC
Patching the embedded brotli sources with the following commit seems to work around this specific issue:

  https://github.com/google/brotli/commit/0a3944c8c99b8d10cc4325f721b7c273d2b41f7b

However, more compile errors seem to follow:

Patch to fix the stringop overflow

I hope this patch is a correct fix to the latter build error. I also filed an upstream pull request to get a review:

  https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/1923
Comment 8 Andrea Postiglione 2021-08-27 18:21:07 UTC
now with your patch build correctly. Thanks!

This bug still affects Gentoo's edk2-ovmf, right?

I can still reproduce. Not sure what could've fixed this bug either, the package hasn't been touched since June.

Patch to fix the stringop overflow (attempt #2)

Here's an updated patch. My previous patch caused fixed the compile, but likely introduced an even nastier bug. See https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/1923 for details.
Comment 14 Pablo Cholaky 2021-09-07 22:03:15 UTC
I can also confirm both patches works well to me.

Thank you Jaak and Andre a for both patches.
