Hi Andrew,

The build fails with error

CHECK include/asm-generic/siginfo.h

/home/test/kernels/linux-2.6.24-rc1/patches/linux-2.6.24-rc1/usr/include/asm/elf.h requires asm/page.h, which does not exist in exported headers
make[3]: *** [/home/test/kernels/linux-2.6.24-rc1/patches/linux-2.6.24-rc1/usr/include/asm/.check.elf.h] Error 1
make[2]: *** [asm-powerpc] Error 2
make[1]: *** [headers_check] Error 2
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 2

The patch unexport-asm-pageh.patch might be causing the failure.
This one was discussed on http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/4/336
