Due to a variety of issues throughout SctPkg, multiple architecture/toolchain combos are unable to build UEFI SCT.

Such combinations include:

• GCC5 (IA32 and X64)
• GCC49 (IA32 and X64)
• VS2019(IA32 and X64)
• CLANGPDB(IA32 and X64)

I managed to patch SctPkg so it builds for VS2019(both IA32 and X64) and
GCC5(IA32 only) and I'm keeping the patched version at my edk2-test fork:
https://github.com/heatd/edk2-test; I might submit these patches to the mailing list soon.

Unfortunately, for GCC5 X64 there are a lot of EFIAPI issues that stop it from building (see Bug 2126 - SCT does not build for X64 using GCC - missing EFIAPI); I tried my hand at fixing those but there are way too many issues/warnings, and I'm not too familiar with this project.

CLANGPDB fails to build SctPkg in the IA32 and X64 architectures.

If more details are required I am more than happy to submit further bug reports.

Relevant toolchain information:

• Visual Studio Community 2019
• GCC version 11.1.0 (GCC)
• GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.36.1 / GNU gold (GNU Binutils 2.36.1) 1.16
• Clang version 12.0.1 / LLD 12.0.1
