Seems to be a toolchain issue.  Building on RHEL-6 (which I did for all
seabios builds in qemu git) gives me this:

address@hidden roms]$ ll seabios/out/bios*
-rw-rw-r--. 1 kraxel nobody  131072 Feb  6 09:52 seabios/out/bios.bin
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 kraxel nobody 1048716 Feb  6 09:52 seabios/out/bios.bin.elf
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 kraxel nobody  127972 Feb  6 09:52 seabios/out/bios.bin.raw
-rw-rw-r--. 1 kraxel nobody     137 Feb  6 09:52 seabios/out/biostables.d
-rw-rw-r--. 1 kraxel nobody   12100 Feb  6 09:52 seabios/out/biostables.o

And on Fedora 18 I get this:

-rw-rw-r--. 1 kraxel kraxel  262144 Feb  6 09:52 seabios/out/bios.bin
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 kraxel kraxel 1048716 Feb  6 09:52 seabios/out/bios.bin.elf
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 kraxel kraxel  131952 Feb  6 09:52 seabios/out/bios.bin.raw
-rw-rw-r--. 1 kraxel kraxel     137 Feb  6 09:52 seabios/out/biostables.d
-rw-rw-r--. 1 kraxel kraxel   11872 Feb  6 09:52 seabios/out/biostables.o

With no config options changed.

Yea, just committing the Fedora 18 build looks more sane than trying to
figure how to handle the size change in hard freeze.

cheers,
