dhcp-boot=http://192.168.0.xx/xxxxxx/bootstrap.ipxe
if in the case the chain link in the embedded script is broken, what happens? will the above line serve in dnsmasq serve as backup?

If you have an embedded script, then the control flow (including what to do in the case of failure) is entirely under the control of that script. For example, you could create a script that retries indefinitely:

Code:
#!ipxe
:try_dhcp
dhcp || goto try_dhcp
:try_boot
chain ${filename} ; sleep 1 ; goto try_boot

and that it would automatically know it has to build a 64bit efi rom based on filename?

Yes.

[ebuild R ] sys-libs/zlib-1.2.5-r2
I have an old linux box, which i dont intend to update, will those versions suffice for EFI?

Probably. Try it and see if it builds.
