Commit 5de043f4bd11a9e0a3e8daec7d1905da575a76b7 breaks the build on 64-bit powerpc because we no longer get the -m64 flag passed to gcc. There is code in arch/powerpc/Makefile which adds (or used to add) -m64 to AS, LD and CC if we are running on a 64-bit machine (which I am) and have a biarch toolchain (which I do). Without -m64, the toolchain assumes 32-bit and all sorts of things break spectacularly.
I haven't yet tracked down exactly why this commit has this effect, since I find it takes considerable time and effort to understand Kbuild.
