Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v2 2/6] BaseTools GenFw: Support CLANG8ELF with conversion ELF to PE/COFF image

["Ni, Ray" <ray.ni@intel.com>]

Leif,
Sorry to hear that. It seems a CI gap that doesn't capture such errors.
It looks like the logic update to detect .text section doesn't work in your case.

I am trying to build the OVMF Bhyve because I saw it contains an AcpiTables module that has .aslc file.

Thanks,
Ray
