Yes, but that is not correct, unfortunately. The expected behaviour is
for CI to use the same filename for its efi apps, no matter what host
architecture it is happens to be running on.

The use case that Heinrich mentions seems to be broken on x86_64 now,
as I mentioned on the other thread, perhaps due to a recently
introduced bug in UEFI or QEMU. Just to be clear, this is not a
problem with sandbox. I suspect Heinrich will figure that out at some
point and then I will be able to try it too. I would also like to run
it on sandbox.

I hope to get an ARM machine running CI eventually, but I need to get
my lab running first.

Regards,
Simon
