Yeah, the compile breaks after that with 4K pages.
In drivers/base/node.c we have:
/* 2008/04/07: buf currently PAGE_SIZE, need 9 chars per 32 bits. */
BUILD_BUG_ON((NR_CPUS/32 * 9) > (PAGE_SIZE-1));
which causes:
drivers/base/node.c: In function 'node_read_cpumap':
drivers/base/node.c:31: error: size of array 'type name' is negative
I can compile with 16384 CPUs with 64K pages, but it doesn't boot.
sfr asked for size info for different builds, so I may as well repost
them here:

config was pseries_defconfig but with 64K pages.
