I've bisected this to the following commit

commit ed1cd6deb013a11959d17a94e35ce159197632da

    powerpc: Activate CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK
    
    This patch activates CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK which
    moves the thread_info into task_struct.

I'll be the first to admit this is well beyond my area of knowledge so
I'm unsure what about this patch is problematic but I can be fairly
sure that a build immediately before this patch works while a build
with this patch hangs.
