This causes the build to break and fail on powerpc on the latest version of Linus's tree. Unfortunately my understanding of the powerpc code is rather limited and therefore felt best just to report it. Please let
me known if there is anything else I can do to help solve this outstanding build breakage.
Cheers,
Nick
