As Hollis has pointed out as well, it is very odd that you cannot get a
compiler which correctly defines __linux__ and __powerpc__.  You are
creating a powerpc-linux cross compiler correct, and not powerpc-eabi or
some other incantation?

This is an issue since you're running the MVME 2400/2600 under
CONFIG_ALL_PPC, yes?  Can you verify that in _devel, CONFIG_PPLUS works
on these boards, as from what I recall it should.  As for fixing
CONFIG_ALL_PPC, what I intend to do is add a check to verify the bridge
and then set the intack occordingly.
