This breaks ~35% of the defconfigs.

eg. ppc44x_defconfig
http://kisskb.ellerman.id.au/kisskb/buildresult/13113408/

  arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_32.S:(.text+0x7ac): undefined reference to `do_break'

For now I've just wrapped the asm above in:

+#if !(defined(CONFIG_4xx) || defined(CONFIG_BOOKE) || defined(CONFIG_PPC_8xx))

But would be happy if there was something less gross.

cheers
