I can definitely guarantee that this would work in
the yocto kernel (with a small local step for you), in
fact, I've got a full BSP for this, and any of the extra
features in the kernel (SPE, IEEE float, lttng, etc) will
all work for any e500* board.

When doing the initial freescale board work, I ran into
similar (same) problems with userspace (and gcc), and
ended up backing off to a more generic optimization level
to get things working. So there are a definitely few things
to do. I was experimenting with FPU settings, but haven't
gone back to look again.

Cheers,
