This branch is not working correctly.. I suggest you use
http://tracker.coreboot.org/trac/coreboot/browser/trunk instead.

This can be checked out with subversion through

svn co svn://coreboot.org/coreboot/trunk coreboot
or if your company firewall blocks the svn ports:
svn co https://svn.coreboot.org/coreboot/trunk coreboot

This seems to be a problem with a buggy binutils package delivered with
Fedora 8.

To get reliable and comparable results, I'm only using the cross
toolchain built by the script coreboot/util/crossgcc/buildgcc ... It
will produce a known good toolchain.

Good luck!
