In the interim of moving ACPI tables out of seabios, developers should get the config from QEMU tree to keep things in sync.

+QEMU might only need a part of the BIOS binary, and different QEMU versions +might need different seabios configurations to work well. To build +a bios for qemu, one needs to copy the config file from qemu source tree:
- cp roms/config.seabios seabios/.config
+and then run make with this configuration:
- make -C seabios olddefconfig
The "seabios" word in the commands refers to whichever directory the seabios project has been cloned / checked out / extracted, doesn't it? For a second the cp command looked as if I should be able to find a seabios subdir (beside the roms subdir) in qemu. What about
- cp roms/config.seabios $SEABIOS_DIR/.config
- make -C $SEABIOS_DIR olddefconfig
(BTW, good to know! :))
Thanks Laszlo
Okay, I'll send v2.
