Well, since you said it's not a processor size mismatch, I decided
to give it a try.

I downloaded version 1.47 of jonesforth.s and jonesforth.f.
I used the exact gcc line you posted above to compile.
I had to use a slight variation of your 'cat' line:

  cat jonesforth.f - | ./jonesforth

It works.  '3 .' prints 3 .  There is no -1 CELLS message.  WORDS
works.  QUIT had to be used to exit instead of BYE ...  Lowercase
'bye' works to exit also, although uppercase 'BYE' is listed by
WORDS.  Uppercase 'BYE' doesn't exit.

This was on a 64-bit Vector Linux (VLocity) in Xfce's Terminal
Emulator.

Version 1.47 is available at Richard Jones' GIT repository:
http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2010/08/07/jonesforth-git-repository/

I followed the first link in the blog to git.annexia.org,
then "version 47", then "tree", then "raw" options to get code
for jonesforth.s and jonesforth.f.

Unless your version is out of date, I doubt that was of much help.

I know there were some patches and fixes for Jonesforth posted
to c.l.f and elsewhere.  Could one of those be the problem?
