Thank you for the heads up, and thanks Holger for doing it!

The problem is one of collation order configured by LANG (see their
build script). fr_CH.UTF-8 has different rules that sort A_TREND
before AAEON instead of after ASUS, and NYAN before instead of after
NYAN_*.
http://review.coreboot.org/10510 should deal with that.

While at it, http://review.coreboot.org/10512 minimizes the stored
config to make it clearer to users which options were changed.
