Well, the Linux kernel can also be built with practically any distro out there.
Yeah. Maybe that gets tested more than building coreboot and SeaBIOS, and so problems are discovered by those who introduce them.
Having a need for a separate toolchain for building x86 on x86 is a bit overkill IMHO, at least for someone hacking on Seabios only infrequently like /me.
OTOH it takes about 20 minutes to build a toolchain on a reasonably fast machine, and the script makes it quite effortless.
