No, this is not possible (at least not with reasonable efofort and resonable code). > My guess is that it is not possible, but I was surprised to see that > the e500v2-targeted toolchain did build the kernel for the e300 board > just fine. That's not surprise. When testing, I build U-Boot for *all* PowerPC systems with the same toolchain, usually using a ppc_8xx- or ppc_4xx- configuration. All these images buil without problems, and more, they even run fine on the target systems. U-Boot usually does not include any code which depends on such specific CPU features.
