I don't follow - what you say suggests that $(LIBDIR) is empty,
which certainly isn't the case for me and hence would need
explanation of the circumstances under which this happens.

With the above, this minimally ought to be $(LIBDIR)/efi - open
coding /usr/lib64 here doesn't look correct to me.

If there is actual use for overriding this location, I'm not
opposed to the change in principle.
