The »-91« means that 91 commits have been applied an top of tag 1.7.3.
So it is indeed latest master when you build it.
$ git show --format=fuller --stat c21dce3

Minor - eliminate the SET_GLOBAL macro.
Remove the SET_GLOBAL macro - it is no longer used and since it was
only available in "32bit flat" mode it does not have much use.

Could you please send a report with the build logs to the coreboot
mailing list? That would be great.
