Commit bca9ca[0] causes a build failure while building for a G4 system since 5.10.8:

Reverting the commit allows it to build. I've uploaded the config[1], but let me know if you need other information.
Do you also have the same build failure in Linus's tree with this commit in it? And why not cc: the authors of the offending patch?
No, 5.11-rc7 builds correctly with the same https://dpaste.com/7SZMWCU89.txt olddefconfiged. I've CCed the commit authors.
Should be fixed by following commit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.git/commit/?h=...
Yes, that fixed the build after editing it to apply to head_32.h in the 5.10 branch.
Can you provide a working backport?
thanks,
