Code:

make bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi

it comes with an error-----

Code:

What configuration changes have you made, and have you tried to compile with a clean checkout?

> undefined reference to `__xpg_basename'
Google tells me it is a libc refererence issue, which libc is used on this system?

my OS is ubuntu 16.10 x64
ldd --version

Code:

ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.24-3ubuntu2) 2.24

I had this same issue in the past with ubuntu. Since then I only use fedora (24 currently) which compiles fine

Proposed fix for this is included in a Pull Request on Github, mail sent for this at: http://lists.ipxe.org/pipermail/ipxe-dev...05402.html
