make crossgcc

does all of the above in one go.

Michael, most patched distribution toolchains are unable to build
coreboot correctly. You could try again with USE=vanilla for the
old versions of binutils and gcc.

As expected, the image generated by that cross toolchain works fine :)

I had no idea that could be a problem.. Thank you for pointing that out.
I should have looked at the wiki I guess:
http://www.coreboot.org/Development_Guidelines#Required_Toolchain
"Linux distributions usually modify their compilers in ways incompatible
with coreboot."

Sorry for the delay.
