I have the same problem but also another one with include/asm/atomic.h:
When compiling 2.3 from the CVS, i started getting errors with many
files in kernel/. I'm at work and don't have the actual error message
here but it was something like "protected or fixed register used, a bug
in the compiler or impossible asm clauses".

The problem seemed to be the inlined functions (atomic_inc, atomic_dec, ...)
in include/asm/atomic.h. The errors went away when i #if 0'ed away the
inlined functions and re-enabled the old ones in  arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S.
Since no-one else has mentioned this, it might be 603e specific?

After that change it compiled ok but the kernel freezes on boot with those
amiga_disable_irq messages... I didn't look at it further yet.
