#if defined(__ppc__) || defined(ppc) || defined(__ppc) || \
defined(__PPC) || defined(powerpc) || defined(__powerpc__)

kernel has all its includes in the kernel source tree and does not
use standard ones, reiserfsprogs do not take anything from
any kernel source tree and use their own or standard includes.
asm/unaligned.h is included from glibc-devel on my computer.
Could you check the above macros whether it works for you?
