Re: [coreboot] Problem in building the toolchain with gcc-8.1

[Jason Lenz]

I had the same problem with compiling under Archlinux.  I think gcc-8.1 is too new for coreboot (currently).  Debian uses an older version of gcc and works fine.  Below are a couple suggestions to try.
* See if you can install and use gcc6 from the AUR
* Install docker and then try using coreboot-sdk from docker hub

Another option I went with (assuming Archlinux):

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-nspawn#Create_a_Debian_or_Ubunt...

In short:

pacman -S debootstrap debian-archive-keyring
cd /var/lib/machines
mkdir debian_build
(if you're on btrfs, instead do 'btrfs sub create debian_build')
debootstrap stable ./debian_build https://deb.debian.org/debian/
systemd-nspawn -D ./debian_build
passwd
logout
systemd-nspawn -bD ./debian_build
-> adjust /etc/apt/sources.list

I had the same problem a few weeks ago when compiling coreboot for the
first time (now it worked!) :)
