It seems with -mcpu=8540 and -mcpu=8548 you get sync instead of lwsync:
/* E500 cores only support plain "sync", not lwsync. */
#define TARGET_NO_LWSYNC (rs6000_cpu == PROCESSOR_PPC8540 \
|| rs6000_cpu == PROCESSOR_PPC8548)
The question is if all the CPUs you're using are these 2, or if you use some
others that might not be superset of those.
