Debian ppc64el will wait for the 'powerpc/boot: 64bit little endian wrapper'
(zImage) patches upstream rather than shipping 32-bit tools for zImage. The
patches are currently in Ben Herrenschmidt's linux-next tree [1].
The patches are not being carried over instead of this workaround because,
even without both, the build process does produces vmlinux, only failing for
zImage. So, it's ok to just work-around this for now, as we pick vmlinux.
The workaround patch just avoids this build error:

LD vmlinux
SYSMAP System.map
