Interesting, the 4.4 build fails for me with vanilla 4.4 LTS kernel
(which is why this was missed):

 AS      arch/powerpc/kernel/systbl.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S: Assembler messages:
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:1599: Warning: invalid register expression
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:1640: Warning: invalid register expression
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:839: Error: attempt to move .org backwards
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:840: Error: attempt to move .org backwards
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:864: Error: attempt to move .org backwards
arch/powerpc/kernel/exceptions-64s.S:865: Error: attempt to move .org backwards
scripts/Makefile.build:375: recipe for target 'arch/powerpc/kernel/head_64.o' failed

I'll look into it.
