Quick googling revealed Debian patches that fix all the endianness issues and let SeaBIOS be built with a cross-compiler. The only snag is that the Debian patches are against an older version of iasl than what is now in rawhide. But the new version was imported in rawhide just last week by Richard, presumably in an attempt to fix this problem, and IMO can be reverted to the older one. I'm not sure if it requires bumping the epoch of the iasl package, but that's a minor evil.
