Done, no warnings. I decided to keep prot_to_real() in its current place though. It's probably going to be useful when we support processing ROMs in i386-coreboot (e.g. for biosdisk or vbe). > I'm attaching the script I'm using to test all platforms at once.

If every Log2make is empty, please go ahead. Thanks. Btw, maybe you find this useful: -MAKE_JOBS=8 +MAKE_JOBS=`getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN || echo 1` -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
