Thank you for that piece of info, Scott!

May I expand the question one bit, and ask whether the user-mode binaries compiled for the e300 will generally work for the e500 -- or, vice versa? Is one choice safer than the other?

I know for sure that we take a big hit on floating-point ops, but are there other things I am not considering?

It should work, though as you note floating point will have to be emulated (make sure your kernel supports it); better would be to compile as soft-float. Also avoid string instructions.
