Py3 UEFI port needs to be enhanced to provide capabilities to work with the UEFI System Firmware Tables such as Boot Time Services Table, Run Time Services Tables, UEFI Protocols, ACPI and SMBIOS tables natively from Python scripts.

This BZ ticket has been raised to request for adding these capabilities into Python interpreter as additional built-in modules into the interpreter.

Submitting the patch to fix GCC 32 bit build issues with Python Interpreter.
The changes are actually needed in StdLibC library.
