My UEFI firmware file size is 7MB, not 8MB. #155

Hi. I'm developing an EDK2 UEFI firmware on MinnowBoard Turbot/Max. I've followed a UEFI firmware release manual document provided by Intel.

https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/c7/91/minnowboard-max-rel-1-01-bin-releasenotes-for-binary-firmware-images.txt

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 Linux environment and the same GCC version as the Intel document.

However, my firmware result file size was 7MB, not 8MB. I tried to update the firmware on my board using pre-built UEFI flash update utility, the utility displays error message due to difference of firmware file size.

On the contrary, when I updated the firmware on my MinnowBoard using the firmware file(8MB) provided by the Intel web site, flashing was done successfully.

I don't know why my firmware file size is 7MB. The build was done successfully, and error has not been displayed. Do you have an idea about this issue?
