I ran into the issue with the relatively recent ipxe update, and I've
been in a similar situation with qemu (upstream) a number of times
(going as far as finding it necessary to invent hacks to disable the
qemu upstream build automatically, as I don't want to always
manually invoke ./configure when re-basing my trees). I think there
was an issue at least once with seabios, too.
