Your host developing machine can be a modern i5. but Coreboot uses a special gcc for the BIOS code. Just add the necessary paths as a prefix in .xcompile file like AS:=/root/bios/coreboot/util/crossgcc/xgcc/bin/i386-elf-as But i wrote assembly language from scratch and i used gcc -march and -mtune options for Pentium III and it worked well.
