Error building Coreboot for MinnowBoard Max in Debian

Hello members of the community

This is my first time writing to the email list to ask for some help or insights about my problems building Coreboot. I apologize if I make some mistakes while attempting to communicate.

My problem:

I am trying to build Coreboot for my MinnowBoard Max following the instructions found in this book: Embedded Firmware Solutions: Development Best Practices for the Internet of Things. While executing “make crossgcc-i386” within the coreboot folder, the make throws this error:

See `config.log' for more details.

In any case, I am attaching the full “config.log” for you to review - if possible at all.

I am running Debian 7.6 inside VirtualBox in an AMD A8-4500M Machine (64-bit)

Thank you beforehand for any help or insights you may be able to provide.

Juan
