Sarge uses gnu-efi 3.0a and gcc-3.3 (I believe), with Sid using gnu-efi 
3.0b and gcc-4.0. I've tried various combinations of Debian gcc and 
binutils, but haven't managed to produce a working binary yet. Scanning 
the Gentoo binutils and gcc patches doesn't show anything terribly 
obvious, so it sounds like tracking this down won't be terribly good 
fun.
