David Edelsohn replied:
<< The base PowerPC Book-E UISA generated by GCC should work on the
MPC5554. I am not sure about the difference between the 5554 e200
core and the 8540 e500 core.
Kumar Gala at Freescale probably can provide more details about
compatibility with GCC's e500 support and support in previous GCC
releases.

The e200z6, implemented in the MPC5556 microcontroller, is
code-compatible with +e500 core (including isel, SPE, and
single-precision floating-point APUs).

This all was very useful feeback, much appreciated, thanks a lot :)
