Is anyone using O= output directory option ?

Yes, always.

Great !

It seems that git/master is failing:

$ make O=ppc6xx ARCH=powerpc ppc6xx_defconfig
$ make O=ppc6xx ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- zImage

Works fine for me (exact same arch and defconfig).  Two differences:
1) I also set CROSS_COMPILE during the config step;
2) I don't build zImage, just the default (but manual "make zImage"
afterwards works fine).

Could you run command (2) a second time on your system.

Add V=1?

Full steps:

$ make O=ppc6xx ARCH=powerpc ppc6xx_defconfig
$ make O=ppc6xx ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- zImage
-> ok so far

Then even after a mrproper I enter in an odd state:
