Yes, it's not due to anything in the akpm tree.  Tracing stuff blew up.

It fails with sparc64 defconfig but succeeds with sparc64 allmodconfig.
Some config-dependent thing.  3.2 is OK, so it's something in -next.

It could be that some far-off sparc64 Kconfig change is newly
triggering this.  

I suppose I could get off my ass and actually work out why it broke,
but the tracing code is too icky.
