Based on your description, this seems to be a connection problem. What Bus Pirate you're using - v3 or v4 ? I have v4 and never had to modify any flashrom source files. If you clone the latest flashrom sources and build them, they should work for you without any modifications. How did you connect the cables? As you could see from this manual http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Flashing_a_BIOS_chip_with_Bus_Pirate#1P_to_3P_adapter , it's advised to connect not just VCC but also WP and HOLD, - to a single 3.3v pin, because a Bus Pirate only has one.
