If you just do make user or make from the top level of the tarball then 
it should all build ok. There is no fwparam_ibft program. Instead just 
run iscsiadm in fw mode.

log into targets found in fw
iscsiadm -m fw -l

print out the targets found in fw and create /etc/iscsi/nodes records 
for them
iscsiadm -m discovery -t fw -P 1

print out the targets found in fw and create /etc/iscsi/nodes records 
for them and login
iscsiadm -m discovery -t fw -P 1 -l

Are you using ibft?
