Great, thanks! I documented this in the wiki, too, see

Done.

Which compiler options did you use here? I don't see any warnings using
the stock svn code and Makefile. The warnings don't look critical to me, btw.

Yep, flashrom doesn't build on all platforms, yet. On some it might not
even make sense to have flashrom at all (maybe S/390, a mainframe which
probably doesn't even have a "BIOS", or at least not in the traditional
sense; I'm just guessing, though).
See http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=flashrom for the current
architecture build status of the Debian package.
Any help with porting flashrom is highly welcome!
Uwe.
