hello,

sorry! we did merge the linux_spi support without adding a proper check
for the linux headers. we will fix that soonish until then you can
compile flashrom with the following command without linux_spi support
but with all other programmers that are enabled by default:
make CONFIG_INTERNAL=yes CONFIG_SERPROG=yes CONFIG_RAYER_SPI=yes CONFIG_BITBANG_SPI=yes CONFIG_NIC3COM=yes CONFIG_GFXNVIDIA=yes CONFIG_SATASII=yes CONFIG_FT2232_SPI=yes CONFIG_DUMMY=yes CONFIG_DRKAISER=yes CONFIG_NICREALTEK=yes CONFIG_NICINTEL=yes CONFIG_NICINTEL_SPI=yes CONFIG_OGP_SPI=yes CONFIG_BUSPIRATE_SPI=yes CONFIG_SATAMV=yes CONFIG_LINUX_SPI=no

the problem with the locked ME is not solved yet, sorry.
