Investigating more, it looks like qemu build those too, so there is no 
need to deal with TianoCore alone anymore. My 7.2.0 install contains:

$ find qemu-7.2.0/share/qemu/ -name 'edk2*'
qemu-7.2.0/share/qemu/edk2-arm-code.fd
qemu-7.2.0/share/qemu/edk2-x86_64-code.fd
qemu-7.2.0/share/qemu/edk2-arm-vars.fd
qemu-7.2.0/share/qemu/edk2-i386-secure-code.fd
qemu-7.2.0/share/qemu/edk2-x86_64-secure-code.fd
qemu-7.2.0/share/qemu/edk2-aarch64-code.fd
qemu-7.2.0/share/qemu/edk2-i386-code.fd
qemu-7.2.0/share/qemu/edk2-i386-vars.fd
qemu-7.2.0/share/qemu/edk2-licenses.txt

Ditto for Qemu build by RSB. Will send you tarball of scripts I'm using 
for building and running rtems.exe on those...
