[LinuxBIOS] abuild.sh issue

[ron minnich]

stefan, I have a patch to abuild.sh on the issue tracker. This patch works
as follows:
If there is a targets/vendor/mainboard/Config-abuild.lb
that will be used instead of the auto-generated one. See what you think.
See example
targets/digitallogic/msm586seg/Config-abuild.lb

This is how it looks.
 ~/src/LinuxBIOSv2/util/abuild/abuild.sh  -t digitallogic/msm586seg
~/src/LinuxBIOSv2/
Processing mainboard/digitallogic/msm586seg (i386: ok)
Used existing test target
/home/rminnich/src/LinuxBIOSv2//targets/digitallogic/msm586seg/Config-
abuild.lb
  Creating builddir...ok
  Compiling image ..ok.

The msm586seg now builds correctly in abuild. if this patch is ok, I will
apply it or you can.

Also, note that abuild won't create linuxbios-builds if you specify -t ...
this is a bug.

The patch is fine. We definitely need something like this to get around
the build specifics of certain boards and the files in targets are not
suitable for this.

What's the issue with -t ?

./abuild.sh -t island/aruma
Processing mainboard/island/aruma (i386: ok, we're amd64)
  Creating config file... ok
  Creating builddir...ok
  Compiling image ..FAILED! Log excerpt:
:0.0:
too few registers
..

So it basically seems to work, except the current svn is broken.

was the linuxbios-builds directory there already? If it is not, I get an 
  error.

I will commit that patch, then.
