Actually, I just ran into this too.  Apparently libefi.a needs to be
build with -fno-stack-protector ... at least that's where the problem is
coming from in my environment.  I don't have an ubuntu system to check,
but to verify this is your issue, try:

nm -D /usr/lib/libefi.a | grep __stack_chk_fail

(or whatever your path is to libefi.a) ... probably you should also
check libgnuefi.a, although this one is clear in my setup.
