Whoops.  Typo on my part.  In arch/ppc/boot/simple/Makefile, change:
ifeq ($(CONFIG_MCPN765)$(CONFIG_MVMEM5100)$(CONFIG_PRPMC750)$(CONFIG_LOPEC),y)
to
ifeq ($(CONFIG_MCPN765)$(CONFIG_MVME5100)$(CONFIG_PRPMC750)$(CONFIG_LOPEC),y)

Then re-run make zImage.initrd and you'll get something like:
-rwxr-xr-x    1 trini    trini      703610 Aug 29 17:30 arch/ppc/boot/images/zImage.initrd.bugboot
-rwxr-xr-x    1 trini    trini      704611 Aug 29 17:30 arch/ppc/boot/images/zImage.initrd.pplus

I'm pushing this fix now, whoops..
