When cross compiling a PowerPC kernel on an i386 machine, got the following
error:

binfmt_elf.c: In function 'create_elf_tables':
binfmt_elf.c:166: 'CLOCKS_PER_SEC' undeclared (first use in this function)
binfmt_elf.c:166: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
binfmt_elf.c:166: for each function it appears in.)
make[2]: *** [binfmt_elf.o] Error 1

for folder /usr/src/cross/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/src/linux/fs

Copied the binfmt_elf.c code from the test9 tree and recompiled. Compile
then proceeded without errors. If whoever is in charge of this section
would like a copy of the .config file, I would be more than willing to
attach it. On a side note the kernel was being compiled for a POWER3
processor, but it doesn't appear as though that would be a factor here.

This quick fix should help you:
