You also reported this issue in the coreboot Trac instance [2]. Thank
you. But I think we can leave the discussion on this list.

I am getting the same error and I think you should revert the patch
introduced with [3].

        commit 903f8e03307de8a689244eec5bf9aface73850b1
        Author: Gabe Black <gabeblack at google.com>
        Date:   Tue Feb 26 23:18:24 2013 -0800

            libpayload: Add size_t and ssize_t types for ARM and x86

For the beginning you can register also at the Gerrit instance (with an
OpenID account) and also report there your findings.

So to fix the error, as a workaround you can do

    $ git revert 903f8e03

and it should work.


Thanks,

Paul
