In other words, Trammel, you would like to say that you can compile Coreboot to be x86_64 compliant (64 bits Coreboot build)?!

(forgive me for my ignorance?)

Thank you,

passing in environment variables CFLAGS_x86_32 and CFLAGS_x86_64:

  EXTRA_FLAGS="-fdebug-prefix-map=`pwd`=. -gno-record-gcc-switches"
  make CFLAGS_x86_32="$EXTRA_FLAGS" CFLAGS_x86_64="$EXTRA_FLAGS"

Ideally coreboot could use this in its Makefile to avoid having any
build tree path dependencies included in the binary, although for now the
Heads build script passes in these extra flags to all of our dependencies.

With this (and several other commits this week), Heads is now 100%
reproducible (tested on Ubuntu, Qubes' Fedora, and an ancient Debian):
