No. I haven't tried rEFIt with debian patches. But I had never
maintained the package for a start.

About gnu-efi (I maintain it in AUR), it builds perfectly in my system
(tried today, x86_64 with gcc-multilib, although multilib is not
necessary for gnu-efi). Can you post the build log from your system?
Can you delete the existing source dir and try compiling again.

If you want to compile 32-bit gnu-efi libs in 64-bit system (with
multilib), the build system does not support that. You may have to
modify the Makefiles to compile the 32-bit libs in a multilib system
(-m32 and stuff)

Regards.
