So VGACON probably doesn't work either on 32bit.  I'm guessing

arch/powerpc

doesn't support PREP.

It's not only useful for PREP, but also for CHRP.

How best could this be fixed up? Or should I just let the thing
be?  This is obviously not a new thing, and I don't have any

hardware

that supports this stuff either.

I remember this problem was present when I still had a working
LongTrail (which
is CHRP), long before arch/powerpc/ was created.

It's all very old stuff that needs to be dusted. If you have a setup
where legacy VGA is useable, feel free to do a bit of work on that :-)
