Turns out that this is not the normal kind of issue.  Newer seabios 
works, older does not:

good   * 88cb66e (HEAD, tag: rel-1.7.2.1, origin/1.7.2-stable, 
1.7.2-stable) seabios: Add a dummy PCI slot to irq mapping funct
good   * 985a9d3 seabios q35: Add new PCI slot to irq routing function
good   * 2b57726 seabios q35: Enable all PIRQn IRQs at startup
good   * e5fe4f9 Verify CC is valid during build tests.
good   * 4219149 build: Don't require $(OUT) to be a sub-directory of 
the main directory.
bad    * d75c22f Fix Makefile - don't reference "out/" directly, instead 
use "$(OUT)".
bad    * 12e8199 USB-EHCI: Fix null pointer assignment
bad    * f396871 Update tools/acpi_extract.py to handle iasl 20130117 
release.
bad    * 4bd8aeb (tag: rel-1.7.2) vgabios: implement AX=1120H..1124H 
functions

good:

The 16bit size change is the only output change.

The changed that fixed it:

commit 4219149ad2b783abfa61e80e9e9f6910db0c76c9
Author: Kevin O'Connor 
Date:   Sun Feb 17 10:56:10 2013 -0500

build: Don't require $(OUT) to be a sub-directory of the main 
directory.

Remove references to "../" and "out/" from the build so that "make
     OUT=/a/b/c/" will work.
