Unable to compile yaboot-1.3.14

I am trying to build my clfs system following "Cross-Compiled Linux
From Scratch - Version GIT-20111122-PowerPC". I am trying to build it
on my iBook G4 that runs Slackintosh 12.1 as a host system. I am stuck
at chapter "10.66. Yaboot-1.3.14". I am unable to comile yaboot. Here
is the output when trying to build with "make PREFIX=/usr"

Did you build e2fsprogs without debugging?  You probably need  
debugging in e2fsprogs for yaboot to build.  Also, yaboot-1.3.14 is a  
bit old, may wanna grab 1.3.15 or 1.3.16. I haven't built a ppc  
system in over a year so I'm not sure if that will help.

Re: Unable to compile yaboot-1.3.14

I haven't been on here for a while so am just replying now...

I have encountered the same failure.   Updating to yaboot-1.3.17 seems
to fix it.   3.17 builds anyway (although you have to shut off Werror
in the Makefile because of a warning.)

I haven't actually tried running it so can't vouch for the new version
in that respect but it does fix the compile error.
