Dear coreboot folks,

I cloned the source tree,

$ git describe
        4.0-2410-g92ff934

did `make crossgcc` and run `make menuconfig`.

I chose ASRock E350M1 and SeaBIOS master.

At the end I got the following.

$ make

I guess it has to do with cloned SeaBIOS git tree.

Thanks,

Indeed. I fixed it. Thanks for the heads up.

I did `git remote update`, `git rebase origin/master` but I still get
that error message.
