Uefi error with archiso32

Might be an easy fix, on adding uefi support to build.sh (for ArchBang32) I got the following error

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target.
cp: cannot stat 'work/x86_64/airootfs/usr/share/efitools/efi/PreLoader.efi': No such file or directory

On looking in i686 folder (not x86_64) found

[mrgreen@arch32 work]$ cd i686/airootfs/usr/share/efitools/
[mrgreen@arch32 efitools]$ ls
COPYING  efi  README
[mrgreen@arch32 efitools]$ cd efi
[mrgreen@arch32 efi]$ ls
HashTool.efi    KeyTool.efi  LockDown.efi  SetNull.efi      UpdateVars.efi
HelloWorld.efi  Loader.efi   ReadVars.efi  ShimReplace.efi
[mrgreen@arch32 efi]$ 

Also

cd archbang/work/i686/airootfs/usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/
[mrgreen@arch32 efi]$ ls
linuxia32.efi.stub  systemd-bootia32.efi

May fail too....

Just a heads up

Re: Uefi error with archiso32

I also have this same error on archlinux32 looks like the uefi packages are a bit broken and missing files.

Re: Uefi error with archiso32

Is there any x86-32 only hardware with a UEFI based bootloader, over a BIOS one?  I have a first-gen core based server which can run Arch64 just fine but still has an older style bios.  I guess there's nothing stopping you trying out Arch32 on newer hardware mind you.
