More details:

include/linux/swab.h: In function ‘__fswab64’:
include/linux/swab.h:71: error: implicit declaration of function ‘___swab32’
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1
make: *** [prepare0] Error 2

I don't see any place where ___swab32() is defined (with 3 underscores).

Even if fixing that to use __swab32() instead, then it fails because
this is defined after it's used. I worked around it using fswab in
there instead.

This tentative patches fixes that too, but I haven't followed the whole
discussion closely, so I can't tell whether it's fully in the original
intend. In any case, it makes ppc32 build again (and probably others).

byteorder: Fix a couple of bugs in the new include/linux/swab.h
