Thanks, thats the build problem removed, I now have a kernel that builds
properly! (issues 1 and 2 appear to be closed)
Only issue remaining is that I still have a long hang (10 seconds ish) 
after this
Memory: 53540k/57344k available (2156k kernel code, 3744k reserved, 383k
data, 128k init, 0k highmem)
 I am investigating but any help is appreciated...

I have been debugging this and the delay is all due to the calibrate_delay
function.
If I use a preset lpj all works fine (fast start up)
If I let it calculate it using the logic
while ((loops_per_jiffy <<= 1) != 0) {
    /* wait for "start of" clock tick */
	ticks = jiffies;
    while (ticks == jiffies)
	/* nothing */;
    /* Go .. */
    ticks = jiffies;
    __delay(loops_per_jiffy);
    ticks = jiffies - ticks;
    if (ticks)
	break;
}
Then I get the hang so it seems this is the culprit function, however as for
why this is happening I am still debugging
Cheers
Dan
