Kernel build: not recognizing 'tlbre' instruction

Using ELDK to run embedded linux on 440GP eval board.

After getting the above running, I decided to test the waters with a custom
kernel another group in our company has used on a custom 440GP board
(Ultimately, the directive from mgmt is to leverage the work done on this
other custom board). This group used a Mac as their development server as
opposed to cross-developing on an x86.

When I try to build this 'custom kernel', I get the following error:

...
Unrecognized opcode: 'tlbre' in the file arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S
...

I diffed the custom kernel against the kernel I'm successfully running on
ebony (ELDK kernel), and have attached it below. It seems the the previous
version of misc.S (1.76) had a smattering of 'tlbre' commands, but in 1.77
they are gone.

Any thoughts or background? I read some background info on the mailing list
about the use of mcpu=403/405 for ppc_4xx. I also read the documentation for
the 405 and compared it to the 440GP, and they both support the tlbre
opcode.

Why is the ELDK not recognizing this opcode? I also tried cross-compiling
this kernel with a backup 'made by hand' gnu tool-chain and I got the same
error.

General question: Is there a way to get previous versions of
linuxppc_2_4_devel kernels?
