OK this was a toolchain problem. My 4.4.4 (from Mike) will not build it (although with the patch series I am about to send it seems to be only 4 bytes over): toolchains/powerpc-linux/bin/powerpc-linux-gcc -v Using built-in specs.

OK I have updated the series to be a bit more aggressive on the #ifdefs.
