I downloaded this version from denx.de (thank you, Wolfgang):

$ powerpc-linux-gcc --version
powerpc-linux-gcc (GCC) 4.8.2

Its still dated but its the best prebuilt version that I could find easily
available.  With this version, the kernel (ppc6xx_defconfig) built without
issue.

Thanks to all who helped me through this.

To Ben or whoever, I think the original patch is still worth applying even
if it isn't critical.

Thanks,

Mark
