What version of gcc did you compile the kernel with? If it is gcc 3.3.x, then 
the problem is that the 2.4 kernel source is not compatible with gcc 3.3.x 
and won't be until at least the 2.4.28-pre series (according to Marcelo).

I ran into this problem too. My workaround was to give 
gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r3 a try. I'm running that kernel now, it worked 
pretty fantastically; much better than previous ppc-development-sources 
kernels that I'd tried. (ppc-development-sources is now gone because Ben's 
ppc patches go straight into Linus' tree now, so gentoo-dev-sources is the 
2.6-series sources to use on ppc now).

HTH.

And know the place for the first time.
