Ard Biesheuvel 424a5ec33b BaseTools/tools_def AARCH64: enable frame pointers for RELEASE builds
Commit 8f0b62a5dac0 ("BaseTools/tools_def AARCH64: enable frame pointers
for DEBUG builds") removed the -fomit-frame-pointer switch from the CFLAGS
definitions that are shared between AARCH64 DEBUG and RELEASE builds, and
moved it to the RELEASE specific ones, so that DEBUG builds can produce a
backtrace when a crash occurs.

This is actually a useful thing to have for RELEASE builds as well. AArch64
has 30 general purpose registers, and so the performance hit of having a
frame pointer is unlikely to be noticeable, nor are the additional 8 bytes
of stack space likely to present a problem.

So remove -fomit-frame-pointer altogether this time.

This directory contains the next generation of EDK II build tools and template files.
Templates are located in the Conf directory, while the tools executables for
Microsoft Windows 32-bit Operating Systems are located in the Bin\Win32 directory, other 
directory contatins tools source.

1. Build step to generate the binary tools.

=== Windows/Visual Studio Notes ===

To build the BaseTools, you should run the standard vsvars32.bat script
from your preferred Visual Studio installation or you can run get_vsvars.bat
to use latest automatically detected version.

In addition to this, you should set the following environment variables:

 * EDK_TOOLS_PATH - Path to the BaseTools sub directory under the edk2 tree
 * BASE_TOOLS_PATH - The directory where the BaseTools source is located.
   (It is the same directory where this README.txt is located.)
 * PYTHON_FREEZER_PATH - Path to where the python freezer tool is installed

After this, you can run the toolsetup.bat file, which is in the same
directory as this file.  It should setup the remainder of the environment,
and build the tools if necessary.

Please also refer to the 'BuildNotes.txt' file for more information on
building under Windows.

=== Unix-like operating systems ===

To build on Unix-like operating systems, you only need to type 'make' in
the base directory of the project.

=== Ubuntu Notes ===

On Ubuntu, the following command should install all the necessary build
packages to build all the C BaseTools:

  sudo apt-get install build-essential uuid-dev

=== Python sqlite3 module ===
On Windows, the cx_freeze will not copy the sqlite3.dll to the frozen 
binary directory (the same directory as build.exe and GenFds.exe). 
Please copy it manually from <PythonHome>\DLLs.

The Python distributed with most recent Linux will have sqlite3 module
built in. If not, please install sqlit3 package separately.
