Josh, you're a life saver!!  Your GIT tree is exactly what I've been
looking for. I have an AMCC440EPx based product that makes heavy use
of all the devices embedded in the microcontroller. I'll be able to
give that platform a very good testing.

Now can you help me with BINUTILS?  What version do you use and can
you point me to a decent GIT tree for it?  I tried to use version
2.18 and the build blows up because it tries to "strip" a script file
"embedspu".
Whoa! I spoke too soon.  Upon attempting a "make menuconfig" on the 
2.6.24-rc8 which I cloned from your git tree, I don't even SEE the 
powerpc architecture appearing!  What's up?
I dunno.  I never use make menuconfig.  I typically do:

make ARCH=powerpc sequoia_defconfig

or something similar if I'm cross-building from x86.  Otherwise if I'm
on the G5, it's just:

make sequoia_defconfig
