How about ipxe.org/build, ipxe.org/building or ipxe.org/compiling?

That one could be more extensive and be linked from the /download page.
Then the download page could actually just explain how to download
either pre-build binaries or source code. From an SEO perspective that
would probably be better page titles too.
