Kernel broken?

While trying to build a new kernel to test the BMAC driver, I found that
a kernel built from -CURRENT no longer boots on my Powermac G3.
fatal kernel trap:
exception = 0x7 (program)
srr0 = 0x0
srr1 = 0x8b032
curthread = ...
pid = 0, comm = swapper
Stopped at 0: illegal instruction 0
It looks like it branched to a NULL pointer, but where or why is not
clear. This happens fairly late in the boot process, after the
Timecounters tick every 10 msec message.
