Subject: 2.4.30 Build Error Using pSeries_defconfig on ppc64

So, heres what I do

cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
cp arch/ppc64/configs/pSeries_defconfig .config
make menuconfig
<exit>
make dep
make clean
make vmlinux

Eventually it bombs out with several messages such as:

ioctl32.c:X: error: (near initialization for `ioctl_translations[Y]')

Culminating in :

ioctl32.c:4597: error: (near initialization for `ioctl_translations[691]')
make[1]: *** [ioctl32.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.30/arch/ppc64/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_arch/ppc64/kernel] Error 2


Obviously something ain't right - ideas?
