I think the problem is this message:

cc1: warnings being treated as errors

The compilers treats normal warnings as errors and will therefore
stop. Usually a warning shouldn't be a problem though.
I can reproduce the error on Fedora 12, didn't test on Debian yet.
However, when using the latest code from svn, everything compiles
fine.

So please checkout the latest code from svn:

svn co svn://coreboot.org/flashrom/trunk flashrom

Install subversion prior to that.
