Hi Rama,

I am working on a variant of Motorola PPC e500 core
which follows the Book E instruction set. I need the
assembler and compiler for it. I have the GCC 3.3.0
and binutils 2.14 source tarballs. What should be the
target option for the configuration? should I
configure it for PowerPC and add -mcpu-e500

Not quite. Try using:

--target=powerpc-elf --with-cpu=8540

I have also noticed the 8540.md file specifying the pipeline
info. Is there any support for 8560?

Not yet.

I would not expect there ever to be. The 8560 has the exact same e500 core as 8560. There would be no reason for binutils or gcc to explicitly support it.
