Your cross-compile environment is good for building kernels.  This is a kernel
configuration issue.  I got the same isa_io_base error building on a PowerMac 
(which doesn't have ISA) until I enabled SCSI support (?!?!?).  For my MPC850 build 
I commented out EXPORT_SYMBOL(isa_io_base); and also isa_mem_base and pci_dram_offset
in arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_ksyms.c and I was able to successfully build a kernel without SCSI.
Note that the 2.2.5-embedded kernel compiles in ADB support whether you configured for
it or not (correct me if I'm wrong, but that has been my experience so far), so I 
commented out L_OBJS and LX_OBJS in drivers/macintosh/Makefile and it builds without ADB.

Mine is empty too, and I can build kernels fine, but I get lots of errors trying
to build anything else.  Instead of fussing with it (I don't know _why_ the builds 
fail anyway) I got a PowerMac, loaded YellowDog Linux, and all is well :-)
