You'll probably want to update to a newer version of gcc than
4.2.1 because I believe the MPC8548 (e500v2) was only supported from
early 2008.

I've only found instructions on blogs etc. for crosscompiling FreeBSD
on embedded platforms - is this something that should go on the Wiki or
in the handbook?
