Maybe "Build with verified toolchain" and if that option is selected, have make search for a (cross-)gcc which has "coreboot" somewhere in its --version output and fail otherwise? That way we could make sure the cross-toolchain is indeed sane (as opposed to a semi-broken cross toolchain downloaded somewhere on the net). > At some point Patrick also had abuild and Kconfig automatically pick up > the chains built by the script, but I think that might require some > playing with the paths... > If that pickup could be made conditional on said Kconfig option, it would be perfect. I'm happy with anything that increases the likelihood of a working build, so feel free to ignore what I said above.
