I wasn't sure if we cared about EBC builds these days. Given the link on

to the compiler goes to a generic page that doesn't mention it, is it
possible to get a copy if I want to verify if changes I'm making are
compatible?
We tried to get access to this at Linaro, but I don't think it is
still available. Leif may remember better.
After asking around, some shady character in a café passed me a very
long and customized URL on a note in a brown paper bag, and I was able
to procure a single license for ARM. I don't think we succeeded for Linaro.
I wonder whether we should simply drop EBC support? It is unlikely
that all the changes that went into EDK2 over the years have not
caused a single EBC regression in the library components that are
needed to build UEFI drivers that target EBC.
The appearance of RISC-V and Loongarch since those days highlight why
architecture independent drivers would be a good thing, but EBC is
pining for the fjords.
If we don't drop EBC now, we should start drafting a timeline for when
we will.
