Try make-fai-nfsroot -v.

It also seems that you've upgraded from an old fai version to a new
one. Your fai.conf file is version 1.52 while the default fai.conf
from the fai 2.5.4 package is version 1.78. Please Try again using a
nerw fai.conf.

... main/binary-i386-none....
"none" is weird. The main problem seems that you do not have gcc
installed on your system. But it's not needed if you use the newer
fai.conf file.
