Hi,

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

arch/powerpc/kernel/head_book3s_32.S: Assembler messages: arch/powerpc/kernel/head_book3s_32.S:296: Error: attempt to move .org backwards make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:360: arch/powerpc/kernel/head_book3s_32.o] Error 1

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?

thanks,
