Sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Building yesterday's
release (v4.19.14) *failed*, bisect led to

| commit a9935a12768851762089fda8e5a9daaf0231808e (HEAD)
| Author: Breno Leitao <leitao@...ian.org>
| Date:   Mon Nov 26 18:12:00 2018 -0200

|     powerpc/tm: Unset MSR[TS] if not recheckpointing

Reverting that commit seems to be sufficient, build passes then.

Additionally, neither 4.20 nor 5.0-rc1 show this problem. The
| commit 6f5b9f018f4c7686fd944d920209d1382d320e4e upstream.
builds as well, so I'll try to find the missing prerequisite next.

An example .config is attached.
