The build fails because I don't have the other proprietary parts (descriptor.bin, me.bin, gbe.bin).
you can simply omit them. If you don't tell that you have them (in your config), coreboot won't miss them.
Or is this process meant the way that I should build coreboot without these parts and only flash the BIOS region, not touching them?
That's it. Generally, for any retrofit coreboot, they are already on the machine, so you never have to extract them. In case of the T440p, the BIOS region spans the end of the 8MiB and the whole 4MiB chip[1]. Hence, you never need to deal with descriptor/gbe/me if you only flash the latter.
Remember to build coreboot for 12MiB and take the last 4MiB of the resulting `coreboot.rom` and always keep a backup ;)
