I'll try and see mva does this, until then we do
use flask || sed -e "/SUBDIRS-y += flask/d" -i tools/Makefile || die

Let me re-phrase here since what you can't understand is purely from
english being his second language.  From the build of seabios there
are 2 separate bugs or issues.  The first is a gcc warning 
make[6]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add `+' to parent

It comes from the build of seabios.  Being a warning it's relatively
trivial but it would be nice to clean it up. This;

-       XEN_TARGET_ARCH=x86_32 make -f blowfish.mk all
+       XEN_TARGET_ARCH=x86_32 $(MAKE) -f blowfish.mk all

is normally how we fix these jobserver -jx type warnings.  Substitute
the call to make with $(MAKE) but I've run out of them. Something else
is making this warning from I believe from a Makefile in
tools/firmware/seabios-dir-remote, or if not the parent Makefile has to
be tools/firmware/Makefile. I actually don't follow the statement about
continuing build at installation but I think from the log it's
triggered at the installation of seabios.

Number 2, the locale.  Python has an archille's heal in locale.  I
finally found a patch well a sed stmnt, to sort this and it's a
long one liner.

sed -e 's:$(MAKE) PYTHON=$(PYTHON) subdirs-$@:LC_ALL=C "$(MAKE)" \
PYTHON=$(PYTHON) subdirs-$@:' -i tools/firmware/Makefile || die

easy. Ian Campbell you hit this on the head really.
