Description

Coreboot version numbering made linuxboot based board non-compatible anymore with heads
```
user@localhost:~/heads$ make BOARD=qemu-linuxboot
2020-09-25 16:27:03-04:00 Wrong gawk detected: 4.2.1
/home/user/heads/boards/qemu-linuxboot/qemu-linuxboot.config:49: warning: overriding recipe for target 'run'

modules/coreboot:13: *** recipe commences before first target. Stop.
```

Not all boards are coreboot boards. I do not test those. Seems like noone does.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with `make BOARD=qemu-linuxboot`, then inspect `modules/coreboot` and `boards/qemu-linuxboot/qemu-linuxboot.config`, especially the coreboot version handling. Done means the linuxboot-based qemu board builds successfully without the reported recipe error and remains compatible with the current coreboot version.
