OK, hoping you can save me some time here. I'm trying something like
this (I believe the filenames are case insensitive?):

         efivar_set(L"LoaderEntriesAuto", config.entries_auto, FALSE);



But the build complains about MACHINE_TYPE_NAME not being defined:

$ make
make --no-print-directory all-am
  CC       src/efi/gummiboot.o
src/efi/gummiboot.c: In function ‘efi_main’:

         s = PoolPrint(L"\\shell%s.efi", MACHINE_TYPE_NAME);
                                         ^

make[1]: *** [src/efi/gummiboot.o] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2


I see it in the gummiboot_CFLAGS, what do I have to do to get that to
src/efi/gummiboot.c?
