At https://ipxe.org/download#debug_builds is example

  make bin/ipxe.iso DEBUG=iscsi

and mentions `iscsi.c`.


What follows is a wild guess

  make bin/10ec8139.pxe DEBUG=console


It is solely based upon on existence of `src/core/console.c`.

Please give it a try.


Since https://lists.ipxe.org/pipermail/ipxe-devel/2021-May/007445.html
has iPXE again better i486 support, so we can go tackle further
hardware oddness ...
