compile quirk linux-2.6.24 (with workaround)

[Bernhard Reiter]

Dear linux powerpc Maintainers and Users,

recently I have tried to compile a new kernel on a Debian sarge ppc
system (PowerBook5,6 MacRISC3 Power Macintosh).

The build system bailed out with
       BOOTCC  arch/powerpc/boot/4xx.o
        cc1: error: bad value (440) for -mcpu= switch
        make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/boot/4xx.o] Fehler 1

I have tracked this a few steps and the attached patch made the compile for me
as my compiler gcc-Version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13) 
cannot produce code for 4xx it seems.

The "ARCH=ppc64" I have came about also looked wrong, but I do not know
if this part of the patch is really necessary.
It is just a workaround, as I have no insight of what is really going wrong.

I hope my report is useful,
Bernhard

Details:
I have used "make oldconfig" with a 2.6.17 kernel and answered some questions.
Here is the first section of the .config I've ended up with:
