Thanks for the report and the patch.
Parts of that patch look like ones I've already collected at:
http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.30/patches/linux-2.6.11.3/
Here are the patches I have so far:
kaz-types.patch
linux-2.6.11-allow-gcc-4.0-asm-i386.patch
linux-2.6.11-allow-gcc-4.0-asm-m68k.patch
linux-2.6.11-allow-gcc-4.0-asm-ppc64.patch
linux-2.6.11-allow-gcc-4.0-asm-x86_64.patch
linux-2.6.11-allow-gcc-4.0-i2c.patch
linux-2.6.11-allow-gcc-4.0-ppc-mikpe.patch

In particular,
http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.30/patches/linux-2.6.11.3/linux-2.6.11-allow-gcc-4.0-ppc-mikpe.patch
covers some of what you found.

Maybe if I apply your first patch, I'll make it all the way through.

Thanks,
Dan
