I then searched and found the 2.6.6 kernel (from http://packages.debian.org/unstable/devel/kernel-source-2.6.6) with Debian patches for powerpc, downloaded it and tried compiling. I get the following error while doing a make modules:

Both should work, it is probably a matter of configuration file. Which
hardware do you plan to run it on ? And what configuration file do you
use ?
Also, what would be the problem in simply using the preconfigured
kernel-image-2.6.6-powerpc package ?
