Since no wild guess seems to be possible. Can you do a git bisect on
your side. Using a git clone of the linux kernel, I usually do from my
amd64 box:

When doing git bisect I compile from my amd64 machine using:

$ make O=g4 ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- my_defconfig
$ make -j8 O=g4 ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- bindeb-pkg
$ scp *image*.deb macminig4:

The bindeb-pkg target is handy to generate a deb package. You may need
to adapt this for your g5.
