Hi guys, sorry for the delay again!

TL;DR: I did "make clean CONFIG_INTERNAL=no" and it looks like it built successfully! Here's the email as I assembled it before doing the "make clean":

===

root@chrx:/home/chrx/Github/flashrom# git describe

v0.9.9-86-ge1a960e

=== 

I've attached the output files you asked for to this message.

I did not change the code at all and I pulled from the master branch here IIRC: https://github.com/flashrom/flashrom

I tried to build using "make CONFIG_INTERNAL=no" early on but this was the error output:

===

cli_classic.o: In function `main':

cli_classic.c:(.text.startup+0xaac): undefined reference to `force_boardmismatch'

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Makefile:1018: recipe for target 'flashrom' failed

make: *** [flashrom] Error 1

Everything above that in the build process looked ok!

sorry, I was looking at the wrong version of the code. Doesn't matter,
see below.

Both are there that's fine. And I think now, that my original assumption
that this could be an issue was wrong: We do check for x86 not only in
the Makefile but also in ichspi.c too (pretty weird redundancy) and the
latter check is in sync with ich_descriptors.c.

I've also tried to build flashrom on Ubuntu 16.04 with the same compiler
version... and it worked *shrug*.

No clue, actually. Did you already try to build with `make
CONFIG_INTERNAL=no`? Just want to know, that this doesn't stall
your work. We are ofc very interested to understand and fix the
actual problem.

Can you please send us a copy of the `ichspi.o` and `ich_descriptors.o`
of the failing build.

Did you change anything in the code? or tried to build different
versions? switch branches? in case, you could try a `make clean`
(although, I can't imagine why it would be necessary).

Oh, I nearly forgot: Please show us the output of `git describe` (I'm
loosing track of our branches atm).
