It seems that you missed some of my review comments:

* The script does not work:

$ scripts/build-efi.sh -wsPr
Packaging efi-x86_app32
[sudo] password for user:
cp: cannot stat '/tmp/b//efi-x86_app32/u-boot-app.efi': No such file or
directory

* Do not use fixed directories in /tmp but use 'mktemp -d' to create a
unique directory.

Best regards

Heinrich
