Gerd,

I’m not sure if this was caused by my email client but your fix did not work for me.
GNUmakefile:17: *** missing separator.  Stop.

I had to add a space after `ifeq` to get it to work.
diff --git a/BaseTools/Source/C/DevicePath/GNUmakefile b/BaseTools/Source/C/DevicePath/GNUmakefile

I had been working around like this previously (I’m not sure about the portability of -Wno-unknown-warning-option):
