To accommodate upcoming GCCx toolchain versions that require 'gcc' to be used as the linker in order to support LTO, switch GCC44 and later (including CLANG35) to a new DLINK build rule that invokes 'gcc' as the linker instead of 'ld'. Since gcc expects its command line arguments in a different format, and expects arguments that it needs to pass to the linker to be prefixed with '-Wl,', this involves changes to most of the DLINK_FLAGS definitions in tools_def.template, as well as some changes to module .INF files that set their own linker options.

This directory contains the template files for the next generation of the EDK II Build infrastructure. These files will be copied into the WORKSPACE's Conf directory if and only if the target files do not exist. These files may be updated frequently. The XMLSchema directory contains the EDK II Packaging XML definitions. The schema may change in the future. It differs somewhat from the early versions of the XML Schema.
