Thanks Paolo,
Then only the issue regarding the pcbios/optionrom stuff remains ;-)
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'multiboot.bin', needed by 'all'. Stop.

Hi Howard,
one solution for this issue is to uncomment the following line in
msys2_shell.cmd.
rem To activate windows native symlinks uncomment next line
set MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict
Then tell Windows 10 it's okay to create symlinks without elevated rights. Here
is a link with a description how to do this.

I think since commit bf708f3c4a "optionrom: simplify Makefile"
pc-bios/optionrom/Makefile in your build directory has to be a symbolic link. Without
'set MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict' msys2 ln -s copies the Makefile instead of creating a
symbolic link.
Wow thanks for this. I had the same issue as Howard, and I can confirm that this
fixes the problem for me. Having said that it was quite fiddly to get this working
correctly - is there any reason why
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-09/msg06997.html still can't be
merged?
ATB,
Mark.
