I have nearly this exact same problem, except for the "ofmem_map: Bad 
parameters" line, which doesn't appear.

So I've gotten the openbios source from bitkeeper to take a look, except it 
doesn't compile.  It gets some ways, but then this:

+ Entering forth
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../.config', needed by 
`../obj-ppc/build/forth/lib.dict'.  Stop.
make: *** [sub-forth-all] Error 2

Unfortunately I have no idea what to do about that.  Help?
