Sorry, right directory, wrong machine. Correct one attached.

I bisected it to the git commit in the title. The one before that does 
build (as powerpc), starting with that one (and continuing to today) the 
build breaks for me. Quite possible something's wrong with the config, 
but it was working before and the bisected commit didn't fiddle with 
Kconfig files...
