when having a closer look at the ppc4xx_pic.c you might find out, that there
are two "sections" one for CONFIG_403 and another for the other 4xx parts.
I'm not familiar with the 403 ones, but I think you should concentrate your work
on the config options there. Selecting "OAK" sets CONFIG_403GCX but not CONFIG_403,
correct me if I'm wrong, but regarding the IRQ stuff they should be more or less
the same chips...
After fixing that, you also have to fix oak.c, as this is also somewhat broken, but 
should be no big deal.

Hope this helps a bit.
Gerhard
