so I did 


mkdir machine
mkdir mips
ln -s /usr/src/sys/arch/pmax/include/elf_machdep.h machine
ln -s /usr/src/sys/arch/mips/include/elf_machdep.h mips
echo "CFLAGS+= -I${.CURDIR}" >> Makefile

make

same error reading the bootxx_cd9660 program:

installboot: read tiny-1.5/usr/mdec.pmax/bootxx_cd9660: Undefined error: 0
