Sorry about the build problems, will fixup.

Don't know what is causing the error though, works just fine on 2.4 :(

Assuming you fixup this error:
 arch/powerpc/kernel/head_8xx.S:577: undefined reference to `DARfix'
with a "b DARFix" I can only guess and I don't have a good guess even :(

You could back out
8xx: start using dcbX instructions in various copy routines
to see if it is the dcbX insn that is causing the error.

This looks like the first error?

Perhaps it is looping on the same TLB Error, caused by dcbX insn?
