kernel 2.6.26 & gcc 4.0.0

[Marco Stornelli]

Maybe the problem is in the ppc tree. Since 2.6.27 ppc will be removed, 
perhaps, for your board the code isn't really tested in that tree. Check 
out if your board is under powerpc tree. However strange errors, it 
seems a lack of a semicolon or something like this.
