Thanks. I will drop it from my next version in that case.

Sorry. I missed this thread earlier. Yes. Applying a similar change
fixes the static library linking for RISC-V. I don't see
efi_allocate_pages_aligned or efi_random_alloc
in vmlinux anymore. I will update my patch. Thanks.

I did not see any new version of the next patch in that series [1].
Thus, I am leaving libstub/Makefile changes
as it is. Please let me know if I missed something.
