Bug in etherboot/src/core/nic.c

I just found a bug in the file "etherboot/src/core/nic.c".
This only takes places if you compile for BOOTP ("NO_DHCP_SUPPORT" is
defined).
Without my change, the compiler will find an undefined symbol ("timeout").
Here is the diff file for etherboot 5.4.0 (i just looked at the latest
nic.c and it still contains the bug):

stop_time = currticks() + remaining_time;
  #ifdef	NO_DHCP_SUPPORT
! 		if
(await_reply(await_bootp, 0, NULL, timeout))
  			return(1);
  #else

while ( remaining_time > 0 ) {
