Hi,

The 2.6.24-git18 kernel build fails on the power machine with following message

drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c:44: error: __param_proto causes a section type conflict
drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.c:44: error: __param_proto causes a section type conflict
make[3]: *** [drivers/input/mouse/psmouse-base.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [drivers/input/mouse] Error 2
make[1]: *** [drivers/input] Error 2
make: *** [drivers] Error 2

this failure was reported earlier http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/22/64

You need the patch from [1] manually applied (due to changed context) 
and with " || defined(__powerpc__)" added for getting it compiling.

@Rusty:
Can you look at this issue? It's a modules problem on 3 architectures.

I tried manually applying the patch and added ||defined(__powerpc__), the above
build failure was resolved but it started failing at another place, 

  CC      kernel/printk.o
kernel/printk.c:568: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘static’
make[1]: *** [kernel/printk.o] Error 1
make: *** [kernel] Error 2
