As I understand it EFI only signals whether a PE binary will be
created, but the ELF binary will also contain efi support if the
build toolchain supports PE. Hence whether the efi symbol is defined
or not solely depends on the detection done above (and whether
runtime.c or stub.c is used).

Maybe I'm missing something, I have to admit the code is quite
convoluted.

Thanks, Roger.
