[Rock Cui]

I got the latest seabios source code from git server, than got a strange
error after make:

compile there:

Thanks for your reply, I had compiled succeed on a ubuntu10.04 PC. But I 
still want to know whether it is a seabios bug.
I also found some messages on google, one of those mentioned:

"Just checked with the latest 2.21 snapshot, works fine."

It means that binutils version is the reason, but my version is 2.21. : (

Copy/pasting an earlier reply:
http://www.seabios.org/pipermail/seabios/2011-May/001738.html

Download coreboot's source code from subversion, then use crossgcc to
build SeaBIOS: http://www.coreboot.org/Download_coreboot

$ svn co svn://coreboot.org/coreboot/trunk ~/coreboot/svn/trunk/
$ cd ~/coreboot/svn/trunk/util/crossgcc/
$ ./buildgcc
$ cd ~/seabios/seabios-master
$ export PATH=~/coreboot/svn/trunk/util/crossgcc/xgcc/bin/:"$PATH"
$ make HOSTCC=i386-elf-gcc LD=i386-elf-ld

The buildgcc script can take a --jobs parameter, which is passed to
"make". See ./buildgcc --help

If you end up with this error "(..)tools/kconfig/conf.c:6:20: fatal
error: locale.h: No such file or directory", run make like this:

make HOSTCC=i386-elf-gcc LD=i386-elf-ld MAKEFLAGS=-I/full/path/to/locale.h
