<h1>Build system</h1>
<ul>
+ <li>Patch the coreboot build system, so that version information is still reliably generated
+ (e.g. in the logs), which is currently lacking because libreboot deletes the .git directory

+ each time libreboot rebases on a new version of coreboot.</li>
<li>Make memtest86+ build using coreboot's own crossgcc toolchain. Currently,
memtest86+ doesn't even work at all when cross-compiled using the toolchain in x86-64 trisquel7</li>
