next problem: If the seabios build fails, and you do a make again, it fails with this kind of error

I've seen this happen. The coreboot Makefile stuff that builds SeaBIOS assumes that there are never uncommitted changes in the SeaBIOS directory, and you get the above error when there are.
It is easy to forcefully overwrite any uncommitted changes in the SeaBIOS build directory, but I am not sure if we want to do that.
I would very much appreciate an explanation why the src/acpi-dsdt.hex file gets modified as part of the build.
It is in the src/ directory, but .hex does not suggest that it is in a source format? It's confusing why it has been added to the repo if it is not a source file. Can someone explain, so that we can fix the build commands?
Thanks!
