The e500 core is not compatible with the debian-powerpc architecture. However, a new debian architecture (powerpcspe) is currently being created specifically for the e500 cores. The debian ports page for it is here [0]. >From the build stats page [1] you can see that over 90% of the debian packages have already been built. Be aware that there are several open bug reports, including a compiler bug that has currently stalled the project. You may also want to ask Freescale about this port. I expect that Freescale is also interested in seeing this port become official.
