You'll need to use

   make bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi

The Makefile is known working; every commit passes at a minimum a "make 
everything" test, which includes building bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi.

To debug the problem on your system, identify one file that is looping, 
and examine the corresponding file in $(BIN)/deps.  For example, if you see

   [DEPS] interface/efi/efi_file.c

appearing repeatedly, then look at the file

   bin-x86_64-efi/interface/efi/efi_file.c.d

and check that every file listed in efi_file_DEPS exists within your 
local tree.
