Coreboot-v1 is VERY old, IIRC it requires gcc 2.xx to compile. Perhaps I could talk you into using coreboot-v2 instead? I see that the Axus TC320 and Bcom WinNet 100 share the same hardware as your board, so porting your board shouldn't require much work. You can find a build tutorial here: http://www.coreboot.org/AXUS_TC320#Building_a_LinuxBIOS_image and various other resources by exploring around coreboot.org.
