All,
Thanks for those who helped me past ARCH-ppc stuff, kernel compiles fine
now.
Next question, I am using the latest<pretty sure> DTC from jdl.com to
compile up a sample .dts file.
I noted that all the .dts files in the /arch/powerpc/boot/dts do not contain
a /chosen node. So if I compile any of them, I get an error and no resulting
blob file.
Do I have the wrong version of the DTC? Or is this a new feature that I need
to implement add to the .dts file I create?

Current versions "require" the chosen node. u-boot will provide it,
though, so you don't need to add it unless your u-boot doesn't
provide it (This would mean you'd need to boot with a boot wrapper.
Or get a newer u-boot ;) ). In order to avoid the error being fatal,
pass "-f" to the dtc. I believe it's on the communal "TODO" list for
the dtc. But, given the choice between modifying the code, and
adding "-f" to the command line, most people have chosen the two-
character option.
