Not 100% relevant here since this ticket is around adding native PE/EFI binary support to binutils :-) Shim is just an EFI binary to facilitate loading other EFI binaries. While it may be true few use the secure shim, *lots* of projects use EFI bootloaders on ARM64/aarch64 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
