Using gcc2.95 and util/config/pcchips787.config, with the latest 
checkout, I get an error regarding beep, nothing like what you have 
above.  The beep error is caused by a change to this line in 
src/pc80/Config:

< object beep.o
---
 > object beep.o CONFIG_BEEP

This was done in r1.6:

The beep error can be cured by adding "option CONFIG_BEEP=1" in the 
config file.  I assume this was needed since beep.c is x86 specific 
code.  At the time I added beep.c, I thought everything in src/pc80 was 
x86 specific. (yes no ??)

However, since beep is only used in the video console to my knowledge, 
it might be better to change it to "object beep.o VIDEO_CONSOLE" unless 
x86 style video is possible on the ppc.  Otherwise CONFIG_BEEP is an 
obscure setting that needs to be set when using VIDEO_CONSOLE.
