I edit the breaking patches out of the Makefile.  That way, all the ones
that do work get applied.  If you just re-run make after this error, the
rest of the patches are not applied (I think) and that might be the cause of
your compilation errors below.

I would have thought it would be something like bsd-ppc instead of bsd-Power
Macintosh.

Are you using icedtea 6 or 7?  I have been using 7 with the bsd option since
it has all of the bsd changes in it.

No problem.  Getting IcedTea on Power Macs would be very good.
