Building ofw for Geode LX DB800 evaluation board

[llandre]

We tried to build openfirmware for the DB800 board but it did not work:

Attached is a patch that allows to build it. As you can see we basically 
removed some stuff to make it to build. Do you think this is safe? We 
are going to download the binary image to the board but we would like to 
know we are trying to run something that makes sense first (typical 
newbie concern) ...
