Appears as though the toolchain build failure was user error. I was missing m4. Once I figured that out, I installed with 'apt-get install m4' and the build completed successfully. Might want to add that to the list of required packages on the page here: http://www.coreboot.org/Build_HOWTO
Thanks! -Todd

Extracting the vga.rom from the BIOS file appears to have gone well. The board has arrived and I am waiting for a fresh flash chip to start playing. Thank you very much for taking the time for the fishing lesson... it is very much appreciated. Many are unwilling to commit the time to teach while answering a question.
I took the time to look up the recommended debug commands, and from what I learned I was left curious where the data source was specified. Given the corrections I think I get it now. Thanks for that as well!
I will make a concerted effort to catch someone on IRC in the next few days to give it a look. I'm curious as to the fault, and I am certain I will learn a lot in the process. Thanks again!

unable to build with the crossgcc toolchain. I sidestepped by loading 10.10 on an unused machine (which appears to have been successful), but thought it should be mentioned. Logs available for the interested parties.
Yes, logs are neccessary for any action to be taken.
It would be nice if you could perform various xgcc experiments, to isolate the problem. This is not practical over email, but perhaps on IRC.
