I assume you meant "openbios.org", not just "openbios".

I assume you first did "cd openfirmware"

That is rather strange, since head.S is in the svn tree at revision 
775.   See 
http://openbios.org/viewvc/clients/memtest86/head.S?root=OpenFirmware&view=log

My best guess is that the svn checkout process didn't complete for some 
reason, resulting in some files missing from your tree (e.g. 
clients/memtest86/head.S).

I'm running debian unstable on my main work machine, with gcc 4.2.1.  I 
just tried a fresh pull / build from svn and it worked with no 
problems.  I doubt that the problem is related to OS and compiler 
versions; the OFW build process works with a variety of gcc versions.
