Probably fixed in:

commit 6153c09c41034250408f3596555fcaae715da46c
Author: Florian Schmaus <flo@geekplace.eu>
Date:   Mon Jul 28 16:47:48 2014 +0100

    [build] Set GITVERSION only if there is a git repository

(This ipxe commit precedes 35c5379760aa1fea5e38f7a78b090f92bb7813ee,
*from* which patch 1/7 updates the submodule, ie. we could have probably
removed the workaround earlier, but it's fine now too.)
