"mftbl" is a valid simplified mnemonic.

        Presumably not.  The GNU assembler has included that mnemonic
since August 2000.

Anyway, can it please be changed to ``mftb %0'' so that the kernel can be compiled with either current or the 1.5.x series compiler?

NO!  If you want to compile a -current kernel on 1.5.x, use build.sh to
build yourself a -current toolchain.  Compiling with an older toolchain
is explicitly not supported.  (-current has AltiVec support which is not
in 1.5.x either).
