Description
When trying to build coreboot without iasl installed, util/xcompile/xcompile die()s with an error and an empty .xcompile file, but the build system doesn't catch that.
This leads to unintuitive error messages such as "toolchain.inc:147: *** building bootblock without the required toolchain. Stop."
Instead, the build system should abort while pushing xcompile's complaint into the user's face.

An incomplete .xcompile is now removed with a request to redo the build. If a dependency is missing, the build will still fail, but since the xcompile utility is definitely called, it's error messages should be apparent.
