Subject: [edk2-devel] Make edk2 fail on Red Hat 8.0

Hi,

I tried to make ovmf with the latest commit: 0a487ef96bd6d2e0ac23323adab86f9949068ed6 on Red Hat 8.0, it failed, while it succeed on Red Hat 7.6.

With commit 4b04d9d73604080a42daf737c39b98d4e1245a51 I used several days ago, it works well on both RHEL8.0 and RHEL7.6.

Steps:

git clone https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git

cd edk2

git submodule init

git submodule update –recursive

OvmfPkg/build.sh -a X64 -n 40

……………

make -C FMMT

And detailed log attached.

Could anyone provide some advice?

Thanks,
