As Dave mentioned, you need the 64bit hppa compiler (gcc-4.9-hppa64).

root@phantom:~# hppa64-linux-gnu-gcc-4.9 --version
hppa64-linux-gnu-gcc-4.9 (GCC) 4.9.3

Run 
"apt-get install gcc-4.9-hppa64", or even better:
"apt-get build-dep linux"  to get all packages required to build the kernel (see my other mail).

Try:
make ARCH=parisc oldconfig
make ARCH=parisc vmlinux modules
