Even if you just know of a few directories I can remove and save a couple dozen
megs of space, that'd be good.

you can probably safly rm -rf everything under arch/* except arch/ppc
and include/asm-* except include/asm-ppc.  i haven't tried this but i
would expect this not to break anything (and if it does thats probably
a bug).

As I recall, LinuxPPC 2000 shipped kernel source like this (without
testing ;), and a few PPC headers include m68k headers.
