I think the chances of the user having appropriate toolchains readily available (without significant additional per-rom configury) are extremely slim.Actually, for x86, all of our ROMs will just use GCC so when building x86 on x86, it's very likely the right tool chain is available.Except when it isn't, for example when building with a windows binary.
That's a simple problem that has to do with the way ld is being used. A patch was posted that actually works with the mingw ld.
Also, x86 is only one of many targets qemu supports. If you're serious about rebuilding roms as standard, then at bare minimum you need to handle sparc and ppc as well as x86.
Yup. That's why we need to probe for toolchains in order to determine whether roms can be built. If you're a developer making changes to OpenBIOS, clearly you are going to have the appropriate tool chains installed.
