Thanks for the tip! 

I actually managed to get a good install by installing and using synaptic. Thank you for the reply. I will save it for future reference.

this is likely due to a change in the default warning options of your
compiler. As flashrom also defaults to not allow any warnings, the build
fails. You can deactivate this rule with WARNERROR=no added to your make
command, e.g. `sudo make WARNERROR=no`.

Hope that helps,
