You can get Marcelo's 2.4.21-pre6 code with:

  bk clone kb://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.4 linux-2.4


However, the most stable and "full featured" ppc64 kernel
will be 2.4.21-pre4 as found on www.penguinppc64.org
(ie, take 2.4.20 release tarball, apply 2.4.21-pre4
patch from kernel.org and then apply our ppc64 specific
patche(s)).

Yes, you will need to build a powerpc64-linux toolchain to
compile the kernel.  Directions also at www.penguinppc64.org.
