Hi Larry,

This is strange you've bisected it there, I can't see how that patch would
trigger it. That said, powerpc has had a few small build system glitches.

It looks like this warning could be fixed by changing #elif CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE
to #elif defined (CONFIG_FSL_BOOKE). Want to send a patch (if it works)?

Thanks,
Nick
