Same error, see attached build.log. Usually this type of error is caused by the build system issuing some git command, in order to get the git revision of the current branch, in a folder which is not a git repository. The git command then traverses the filesystem up to / where it finds /.git/ which is causing the sandbox violation.

Do you have some more info that's not attached to the bug?

Moving /.git to anything but .git until this package finished building worked around the issue.
Created attachment 381714 [details, diff] 0001-Only-set-GITVERSION-if-there-is-a-git-repository.patch Patch for ipxe's Makefile to check for the existence of a '.git' directory when trying to determine GITVERSION. Patch also send upstream.
Patch was accepted by upstream: http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff/6153c09
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
