PPC: packaging kernel 2.6.24 error

I'm making an effort to build the 2.6.24 kernel package (for the vast improvements it offers mainly).  I am running into a problem when the modules are being built.

After running makepkg and compiling most of the kernel this is the concluding, relevant output:

  MODPOST 2 modules
  INSTALL drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko
  INSTALL drivers/video/backlight/lcd.ko
  DEPMOD  2.6.24
patching file Makefile
Hunk #1 FAILED at 489.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file Makefile.rej
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    Aborting...

This is the Makefile.rej output:

***************
*** 489,495 ****
  CFLAGS        += -O2
  endif
  
- include $(srctree)/arch/$(ARCH)/Makefile
  
  ifdef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
  CFLAGS        += -fno-omit-frame-pointer $(call cc-option,-fno-optimize-sibling-calls,)
--- 489,495 ----
  CFLAGS        += -O2
  endif
  
+ include $(srctree)/arch/powerpc/Makefile
  
  ifdef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
  CFLAGS        += -fno-omit-frame-pointer $(call cc-option,-fno-optimize-sibling-calls,)

I have tried playing around with the FRAME_POINTER option but with no change. I haven't compiled a kernel in years so I'm pretty rusty, other that something is failing when the modules are being compiled.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks,

Removing the mol-0.72-carch-build-fix.patch should do it.

Compiles perfectly, just need to tweak the kernel so it boots properly, thank you!
