I am not sure how start.S includes linux/posix_types.h. It is not directly 
included. Perhaps the kernel headers are missing #ifdef __KERNEL__ guards 
again. Need to see the -E -dD output to know.

Did you run make -ARCH=ppc64 oldconfig on your kernel before collecting 
the headers?

Todays glibc builds fine for me. I suspect a configure or kernel header 
problem.
