Re: [coreboot] Coreboot is failing to build

[Marshall Dawson]

Hi Ali,

My builds are also OK (Ubuntu and W7).

I would double-check the sha1sum of your libelf package and make sure it
matches util/crossgcc/sum/libelf-0.8.13.tar.gz.cksum.  To be honest,
though, I suspect it may be correct since you've probably tried multiple
times.

The other thought that comes to mind is there was a patch that went in near
the end of March that added the capability of using multithreaded
decompressors.  You might try modifying the flags in crossgcc/buildgcc.
This also seems unlikely, as it looks like "tar zxf
tarballs/libelf-0.8.13.tar.gz" is used.  I'm with Zoran; see if you can
decompress manually.  It looks like he suggested a different option style,
too.

When was the last time you built the tools successfully?

Thanks,
Marshall
