Description David Gibson 2012-10-25 03:50:36 UTC

Description of problem:

The sgabios package provides a firmware image for use on x86 qemu target machines, and as such is intended for use on non-x86 machines although it is x86 code.  The sgabios-bin package is correctly marked noarch, however the source package assumes native-x86 compilation of the binaries.

It should instead allow cross-compilation on any host platform, as the seabios and SLOF packages (which also provide qemu guest firmware images) already do.

Shall be fixed shortly in sgabios-0.20110622svn-3.fc18.
