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 no longer does. The ACPI file is now generated on each build. This should be in the v1.7.1 release - maybe you're on an old version?
