Do you mean PowerBook G4 for example?
I have a been unable to compile 2.6.17-rc6-mm2 on my PowerBook.

As I, recently, reported here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/6/10/60

Error is:
CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c: In function ‘handle_rt_signal’:

Any ideas?
Thanks,
