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
