Hi guys, I just hit this in trying to stabilize some kernels on gentoo

You should really ask questions like this on the
linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org mailing list (cc'd).

[For others: this is the 1024 byte buffer in the stack in
chrp_event_scan()]

Having said that: yes, the problem has been noticed, but no solution has
been included yet (as far as I know).  There are other issues with
building 64 bit PowerPC kernels with gcc >= 4.5 for which I have proposed
a couple of patches.
