My configuration is following
# Frame-buffer support
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_FB_ATY128=y
when i tried to compile CONFIG_FB_ATY128 as module it also failed with same errors...
PS. This also happened in 2.5.46, but i didn't bother to report :(

There are fixed versions of the aty128 and radeon fb drivers in
the PPC tree. Paulus is now taking care of aty128fb and will probably
send linus and updated version soon. I did a port of radeonfb but have
been waiting for Ani Joshi, the driver's maintainer, to send it to
Linus.

Ben do you mind if I grab your work and place it in my fbdev BK tree. The
reason being is there are some more api changes (the last ones) to be
pushed to linus.

Go on, it's in the ppc bk trees (ppc.bkbits.net/linuxppc-2.5 if you can
grab that without auth.)
