 I just double checked and at least the in-tree version of POWERMAC_G5
 currently does NOT include GENERIC, so PAX_ASLR is still not used on G5
 machines.
 
 I tested, and it works for me, so I added it now belatedly.
 
 However, could it be that your bisection blamed the neighbour commit
 accidently?
 
 I could understand the PIE change I commited minutes before the above
 change could break ofwboot (which is trivial to fix).
 
 I have commited a candidate fix for that, could you retry with latest
 current?
 
 If that is not the case, can you please provide the change you did
 to POWERMAC_G5 and dmesg output from a working boot?
 
 Thanks,
