hm, as far as i could check, on ia64 UP the .percpu section link 
difference was the only ia64 difference i could find out of those 
changes. Could you try to copy a 2.6.24 include/asm-generic/percpu.h, 
include/asm-ia64.h and include/linux/percpu.h into your current tree, 
and see whether that boots? If yes, then it's the percpu changes. The 
patch below does this ontop of very latest -git - and it builds fine 
with your UP config with a crosscompiler.

thanks.
