Need help trying to recompile kernel with EBR functionality

For GPT partitioning on Linux. FreeBSD, MS-Windows and macOS, there is Rod Smith's gptfdisk, included in FreeBSD ports in category sysutils (www.rodsbooks.com).

I use multiple OSes and versions, so three primary partitions that I get with MBR are woefully insufficient.

Besides, I want to be compatible with UEFI.

I use Super Grub Disk formerly included on System Rescue CD to boot and choose, suppose I could possibly use grub-mkrescue from a newer System Rescue CD.

But I aim to move over to UEFI.
