So it's only my cross compilers that don't work.

The kernel.org ones are:

Whereas mine is:
  Configured with: ../../src/gcc/configure
  --prefix=/home/kerkins/workspace/gcc-build/gcc/gcc-8-branch/target/ppc/build/install/powerpc-linux
  --disable-multilib --disable-bootstrap --enable-languages=c

  --enable-targets=all


So I wonder if something in there is making the difference?

You have --disable-libssp on the buildall-built compiler, which makes GCC
assume your libc has the SSP support routines, which gives you these default
offsets (which are what they are on glibc).  Never mind that you explicitly
do not have a libc ;-)

I guess I'll just rewrite the change log to say "some toolchains".

Or "most".
