Well, it seems like this one doesn't want to be compiled now, so I'll
need to dive deeper to figure out how to ensure it always produces the
requested file.
So apparently the problem on my development machine is that for some odd
reason I don't have the "vgabios.bin" file, but I do have
the "vgabios-isavga.bin" file. According to my package manager (pacman),
it is owned by the SeaBIOS package:
usr/share/qemu/vgabios-isavga.bin is owned by extra/seabios 1.15.0-1
Other files in that directory are owned by the same package as well, for
example:
usr/share/qemu/vgabios-stdvga.bin is owned by extra/seabios 1.15.0-1
usr/share/qemu/vgabios-virtio.bin is owned by extra/seabios 1.15.0-1
usr/share/qemu/vgabios-vmware.bin is owned by extra/seabios 1.15.0-1
So I'm not sure what is the best approach here to fix this. It is
definitely not a problem in QEMU because when I compile it from source I
do get a "vgabios.bin" file in the build directory, but I do think that
QEMU should try to use the "vgabios-isavga.bin" file when using the
isa-vga device, so in some way we could fix it in QEMU, which also makes
sense to ensure the filename is "vgabios-isavga.bin" for the isa-vga
device and not plain "vgabios.bin", which really doesn't say much about
the type of the graphics device.
This seems due to a recent Arch Linux change in SeaBIOS package:
https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/ef2a5da4f1aa3fa45eea88c83eee01e89974145f
(so not related to mainstream QEMU project).

Phil.
