Jenkins: Build test all programs under `utils` too

[Paul Menzel]

Dear coreboot folks,

if I am not mistaken, all programs under `utils/` are currently not
built tested. Could that be changed, please? Maybe the following script
could be integrated somehow?

$ for s in util/*; do cd "$s"; make; cd -; done

Be aware that I have no idea how to use Jenkins.

Thanks,

Paul

The main complication is that all build steps should emit some report in
JUnit-format. This can easily be done by shell scripts (in fact, see
abuild), but it needs to be done.

Otherwise we'd have silent errors instead of a clear error/failure
report on what's going on.

Not all directories in util/ have a makefile.

Is it interesting to integrate building util/ and payloads/ into abuild,
or should this be an extra script? My first idea was to keep abuild from
bloating, but I haven't really looked into how hard it is to produce
junit files.

Agree.
