[gPXE] PXE - gPXE - ARM (Sheevaplug) - Compile

[Thomas Miletich]

Hello Henny,
unfortunately gPXE won't run on ARM(or anything else than x86 and x86_64).
As a bootloader gPXE is a very low-level program that needs specific
code for any architecture it wants to support. This means that you
can't compile the code for the x86 version with an ARM compiler and
expect it to produce a working binary.

To my knowledge no one is currently working on an ARM port or has
plans to do so. Porting gPXE to ARM would be a major undertaking and I
don't see it happening anytime soon. Sorry

Thomas
