What impact do the have on boards in arch/ppc being able to build?

Byt the way what are the plans for powerpc?
We have:
arch/ppc
arch/ppc64
arch/powerpc

It was my understanding that arch/powerpc was supposed
to be the future unified powerpc architecture but it
does not even provide a defconfig.

And I do not see too much happening to do so - but that maybe
because I looked at a wrong place.

You must have looked in the wrong place. :-)

arch/ppc is scheduled for removal from mainline in June.

Good to hear.

arch/powerpc is under significant development, with lots
of defconfigs in arch/powerpc/configs.

Double checked - it was my build script that used ARCH=ppc
Now I just need to build another toolchain as the ppc750 could not build
the defconfig. crosstool is my friend here.

You'll need mkimage if you ever venture into some of the embedded board
configs.  Just an FYI.

I known - for now I'm 120% occupied getting modpost in shape and will
return to the mkimage thread when below 100%.
