Yes indeed. I applied your original patch and I actually removed the default
eb-roms.h file so everyone will build their own GPXE ROM(s). It should be
easy for people who care to tweak the target list and it doesn't much matter
how bloated hvmloader gets, within reason. Now that you removed -Werror from
gpxe's build flags, and I've forced ROMs to build serially, I hope the gpxe
build system will be robust enough to build correctly on most people's
systems.
