You have attempted to enable some BIOS-only features within a UEFI 
build.  The build is correctly failing, since you have requested an 
impossible feature set.

You don't need to explicitly enable image formats such as IMAGE_PXE, 
since these are by default enabled anyway for BIOS builds.


As a more general rule: if you ever experience build failures with a 
custom configuration, then the first thing to try is removing the 
customisations.
