Remove the '*' from the line 
    lcall   *farpxSmapiBios
in drivers/smapi_call.s so that it reads:
    lcall   farpxSmapiBios

(Explanation: the assembler in RedHat Linux 6.2 doesn't accept
the '*', which I added to one line in smapi_call.s to get rid
of a warning from as 2.9.5 .)

The latest tpctl tarball includes this fix.
