The only potential modification necessary for a "normal" ethernet
device driver is an entry in include/gpxe/errfile.h.  This is
necessary if the driver code uses errno constants (e.g. ENOMEM).  You
will get a compiler warning if you forget to do that.

Which Linux distro and version are you running?

Try this:
cd gpxe/src
make clean
touch Makefile
find . -newer Makefile

You should get no output from find(1).  If you do get output from
find(1), then there are files in your source tree with modification
timestamps that are in the future.

Now run make.  If you still get the infinite loop then there is a
problem with your build environment.  The chance that nxge.c is
causing the problem is very low.
