2.6.27 needs this wich went in after 2.6.28-rc8:

kbuild: fix make incompatibility

"Paul Smith" <psmith@xxxxxxx> reported that we would fail
to build with a new check that may be enabled in an
upcoming version of make.

The error was:

      Makefile:442: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop.


And I assume the powerpc make-3.82 fix 
(e32e78c5ee8aadef020fbaecbe6fb741ed9029fd)
needs to be added to 2.6.27 too...
