You will get this error:
as: unrecognized option `-T'

Why that error? This is a link step, right?

Not quite: There is a .c in that list:
/home/rminnich/src/bios/coreboot-v3/build/mainboard/gigabyte/m57sli/option_table.c

and that does it. Hardly intuitive, but worth knowing.

Now what broke the coreboot build process, I am not yet sure.
