Hi Andrew,

The kernel build fails on powerpc while linking,

  AS      .tmp_kallsyms3.o
  LD      vmlinux.o
ld: TOC section size exceeds 64k
make: *** [vmlinux.o] Error 1

The patch posted at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/13/414, solves this 
failure.

Only for allyesconfig (or maybe some other config that builds a lot of
stuff in.

However, that patch needs more testing especially to figure out what
performance effects it has.  i.e. not for merging, yet.
