Hi Howard,

one solution for this issue is to uncomment the following line in 
msys2_shell.cmd.

rem To activate windows native symlinks uncomment next line
set MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict

Then tell Windows 10 it's okay to create symlinks without elevated rights. Here 
is a link with a description how to do this.

I think since commit bf708f3c4a "optionrom: simplify Makefile" 
pc-bios/optionrom/Makefile in your build directory has to be a symbolic link. 
Without 'set MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict' msys2 ln -s copies the Makefile 
instead of creating a symbolic link.

With best regards,
Volker
