With GCC 12, corenet64_smp_defconfig leads to the following build errors:
CC arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.o
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:3616: Error: unrecognized opcode: `wrteei'
{standard input}:5689: Error: unrecognized opcode: `wrteei'

-mpcu=powerpc64 cannot be used anymore for book3e, it must be a booke CPU.
But then we get:
CC arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx.o
cc1: error: AltiVec not supported in this target
Altivec is not supported with -mcpu=e5500 so don't allow selection
of altivec when e5500 is selected.
