This might work but you're probably better off building with the cross
tools I expect.

Yes, maybe those work better, but the problem with them is that there's
no uniform name across distributions.

My approach needs the 32bit toolchain to be installed on x86-64, with no
assumption on the cross-prefix of the binaries, but the toolchain must
support multilib in order for it to work.

Thanks Cristi I will try your patch. I don't know if it makes a 
difference but I am running Fedora Core 11, and I already have the 
libelf and binutils packages installed, that is why I am a bit 
surprised. Did Fedora put the elf cross building tools in a different 
package on fc11?

No idea, but my Ubuntu also had issues with the tools. I guess the
makefile was first written on Suse so there it may be work out of the
box.

Install a cross compiler from util/crossgcc or drop the cross  
definitions from the Makefile

Ok after playing with the Makefile I am able to get SerialICE to build. 
I am left with a 4.3GB serialice.rom. The README says to make sure the 
shell works before moving on to QEMU, how do I test the shell is working 
before moving on?

Something's very wrong. It should be 64K.

I can not remember -- did you first try to use the utils/crossgcc
stuff in coreboot -- that's how I built it and it worked flawlessly.

Good luck.

Can you try http://www.coresystems.de/download/SerialICE-1.2.tar.bz2 ?

Some section is not included in the .rom and thus ends up at 0x0 instead
of 0xffff0000, hence the size..

You should probably install the cross compiler from
coreboot-v2/util/crossgcc
