It could be either can you:
a) try the 4.6.3 cross compiler from: https://www.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/
b) Try a ppc64_defconfig build.

If the newer compiler with your .config fixes it it's a compiler issue.
If chaning the config with you 4.4.1 compiler fixes it please post you
.config to see if we can work out what's going on.

Also when you say "current mainline git" I assume you mean the HEAD of
linus's tree not Ben's right?

Yours Tony
