Ah, light dawns ... kisskb, when it gets a failure, attempts to do a
bisect between the failing kernel and the last kernel that built.
Consequently, the log of the bisect attempts will contain some of the
other errors that occurred since the kernel built correctly.  (As an
aside, the bisect script appears not to work very well ... :-( )

You were unlucky here that the m68k build went through a series of
different build problems without getting a good build.

You could try cutting the log off after seeing "make failed, trying to
bisect".
