Interestingly it builds fine for me, even for 32-bit configs, I assume
because my toolchains are 32/64-bit they are able to cope with it. I'll
try and built a 32-bit only toolchain to catch these problems in future.

Yeah, I was just asking myself the same question after seeing your patch
on the list as the kernel package builds fine on Debian's powerpc port [1].

However, the powerpc Debian package always builds a 64-bit kernel image
as well in order to be able to use a 32-bit userland on a 64-bit kernel
when the hardware is capable of 64-bit. So, your guess above might actually
be true, but I haven't tested it.

I built a 32-bit only toolchain, ie. one that doesn't accept -m64. But
it still happily assembles a .S with "ld" in it. So not sure what's
going on with that.

What I do know is that "ld" is definitely not available on PowerPC e500
while "lwz" is available, see 3-68 in the e500 reference manual [2].

Yep.

Thanks for the quick fix!

I assume by that it worked for you? I'll add a Tested-by: for you?

cheers
