I spoke too soon. Life is much better (boots with no issues). But when

That is to say that the build stopped making progress. The system is still alive
and can run other things.

top(1) shows few processes consuming cpu time. There's a pile of
defunct processes
and one of the "make" processes is stuck in "D" wait state.

I'm going to try the current kernel with the 424acaae reverted (and
with the ia64 rwsem.h
reverted too) to check whether this is still the same root cause - or
whether I need to
look for some other problem.
